Air Fryer Teriyaki Pork Chops
Description
Juicy air fryer teriyaki pork chops with a sticky sweet-savory glaze. Six ingredients, 30 minutes to marinate, 15 minutes at 400°F, finished at 145°F.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce, or teriyaki marinade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, optional
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for serving
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry. In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix the teriyaki sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and Worcestershire. Add the chops, turn to coat, and marinate 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket or line it with perforated parchment.
- Lift the chops from the marinade, let the excess drip off, and arrange in a single layer without touching. Reserve the marinade.
- Air fry 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway and brushing the tops with reserved marinade. Chops are done when an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
- Rest 3 minutes. Top with sesame seeds and green onions and serve.
Equipment
- Air fryer (5 qt or larger)
- Instant-read meat thermometer
- mixing bowl or zip-top bag
- Silicone basting brush
- Tongs
- Perforated parchment liners or cooking spray
Notes
- Thinner chops (½–¾ inch) take 8–12 minutes. Start checking at 8.
- Boneless chops cook 1–2 minutes faster than bone-in of the same thickness.
- Shake off excess marinade before cooking so sugar doesn't pool and burn in the basket.
- Store leftovers up to 4 days refrigerated; reheat at 350°F for 3–5 minutes in the air fryer.
