Honey pork chops: Quick and easy oven or air fryer dinner

Pork chops are an underrated meal and even though they need some help to taste their best, there are very simple ways to make them incredible. These honey pork chops are grilled in a convection oven but you can save even more time by making them in an air fryer. Similar to a convection oven, an air fryer just circulates the hot air to cook the food more evenly but in a smaller space which cooks them even faster. You’ll have glazed pork chops with that sweet and savoury flavours you’re looking for.

Honey pork chops tips

The tasty glaze brushed over the pork chops will tease your taste buds with a delicious sweet and tangy sensation. Serve the honey pork chops with rice, vegetables of your choice, pineapple rings and a crunchy garden salad. The convection oven method takes a bit longer but still not a lot of effort and gives you time to work on the sides. If you’re using an air fryer, the chops only need 7-8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chops.
