Print Recipe

This recipe delivers irresistibly crispy, golden pork chops with a tangy-sweet honey mustard glaze, cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer for a juicy, flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons honey mustard (classic or spicy)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 g) or almond flour for gluten-free option
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs (85 g), gluten-free if needed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray or avocado oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), about 3-5 minutes depending on model.
  2. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Set up dredging stations: place flour in one bowl; mix panko, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in another.
  4. Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess.
  5. Brush or spoon honey mustard evenly over both sides of each chop.
  6. Press each chop firmly into the seasoned panko mixture to coat well.
  7. Lightly spray both sides of coated chops with olive or avocado oil spray.
  8. Arrange pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  9. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Add 1-2 minutes if needed but watch closely.
  10. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to redistribute juices.

Notes

Pat pork chops dry to ensure crispiness. Use oil spray to help panko crisp without deep frying. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Press panko coating firmly to prevent fallout. Rest chops before serving. For gluten-free, swap flour and panko with almond flour and gluten-free panko. Can bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes if no air fryer.
