Quick and easy honey garlic pork chops cooked in the air fryer, delivering crispy edges and juicy, tender meat with a flavorful sticky glaze. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick (approximately 2.2 lbs / 1 kg)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (60 ml)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (1.25 ml)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels to help marinade stick and ensure crispiness.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add pork chops to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the fridge for more flavor).
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Place pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd.
  6. Cook at 400°F for 6-7 minutes, then flip each chop carefully with tongs.
  7. Continue cooking for another 6-7 minutes until the exterior is golden brown with sticky honey glaze spots and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove pork chops and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes to lock in juices and thicken the glaze.
  9. Optional: Brush with extra honey after cooking for a shinier, stickier finish.

Notes

Pat pork chops dry before marinating to ensure crispiness. Marinate for 10-30 minutes to avoid overpowering garlic flavor. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; pork is safe at 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for best results. Brush with extra honey after cooking for a shinier glaze. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
