How To Store Leftovers

Keep your leftovers in an airtight container and it should be good in your refrigerator for 3-5 days. Try not to pile the pork chops on top of each other, or use parchment paper in between them. Otherwise, they may stick together and lose their breading.

If you want to freeze these pork chops, wait for them to cool completely and wrap them individually in freezer wrap. Put them in the fridge to thaw them out and then reheat before serving.

Notes, Tips and Variations

• WHERE IS THE MAYO?– Yep, some people slather mayonnaise on their pork chops before breading them. It is supposed to result in a “thicker” breading. We haven’t tried this ourselves, but go for it if it sounds yummy!
• DO I HAVE TO COOK AT 425 DEGREES?– You get that nice, crispy coated pork chop these pork chops at a higher heat. I’d stay up at 425 degrees!
• BREADCRUMBS– You may notice that we didn’t specify what kind of breadcrumbs to use. We used Panko Breadcrumbs. But feel free to use another kind. Try Italian for an extra kick of flavor!
• LEAVE SOME AIR IN THE BAG– You may find it easier to coat the pork chops with the Shake and Bake mixture if you leave a little air in the bag.
• CAN YOU REUSE THE BREADCRUMBS?– You will have bread crumbs left over in your bag after you shake the chops. No, unfortunately you can’t save them to use them again. The safest thing to do at this point is to just throw them away.
• IMPROVISE –  The seasoning/breadcrumb mixture we came up with comes very close to original recipe. But feel free to add or subtract seasonings or spices to your liking. Put some chili powder in there for some heat, or add some garlic powder or dried thyme. The sky is the limit!
• HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN PORK CHOPS ARE DONE? – When they start to get golden brown on the outside, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When it is 145 degrees, it’s done!

Can You Air Fry Shake N’ Bake Pork Chops?

Yep! Super easy! Just preheat your Air Fryer to 425 degrees. Coat you pork as described in the recipe. Place the pork chops in your Air Fryer Basket in a single layer (you may have to work in batches) and Air Fry for 15 minutes, flipping the pork chops half way through. Check the internal temperature to make sure they are done. All Air Fryers are a little different. 

Tools To Help With This Recipe

• BAKING PAN– Come on, you know you need a new baking pan, right? Yours is all messy and gross just like mine gets unless I replace them at least once a year.
• ZIPLOCK BAGGIES– Yep, you’re gonna need these! These one gallon storage bags will do the job perfectly!
