If you love crispy food without a lot of oil, these air fryer pork chops are for you! This method makes juicy chops with a fantastic crunch on the outside, all ready in very little time.
Key Air Fryer & Pork Chop Tips
- Pat Chops Very Dry: For the best crispiness in the air fryer, always pat your pork chops very dry with paper towels before you season them.
- Don’t Overlap in Basket: Make sure to arrange your chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This allows air to circulate properly for even cooking and browning.

Pat the pork chops very dry. Lightly spray or rub them with a tiny bit of olive oil. Season them generously on all sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Air Fry Until Crispy
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Place the seasoned pork chops in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Using a meat thermometer is helpful to check the internal temperature. This ensures your air fryer pork chops are perfectly cooked and juicy, not dry.

Step 2: Cook Chops and Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded pork chops for about 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet (after draining most oil), add honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens. Toss the crispy pork chops in the honey garlic sauce until coated.
📝 Final Note on Texture
Serve these honey garlic pork chops immediately to enjoy their amazing crispy texture before the sauce has too much time to soften the coating.
