What's The Best Way To Get Pork Chops Tender?
In this honey mustard pork chop recipe, the mustard doesn't only go to work to flavor the pork, it also works as a tenderizer.
Slathering the mustard on top of the pork chop works in a similar way to marinating the meat. They both gently break down the fibers and cause the pork chops to become more tender.
What Is The Best Way To Cook Pork Chops Without Drying Them Out?
You don't even need the grill or the stovetop to make these amazing! The Air Fryer will give them a nice, crisp outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
No babysitting, and no constant flipping or risk of getting burnt by popping hot oil. You only need to flip them once while they're cooking, and you'll have perfectly cooked pork chops!
Ingredients You'll Need
- Pork chops- I like mine about 1/4 inch thick so they cook through without becoming overdone on the outside.
- Prepared Mustard- This works as the base of your honey mustard sauce.
- Honey- You can't make honey mustard without the honey
- Minced Garlic
- Kosher Salt
- Ground Black Pepper
- Cooking Oil Spray- This prevents the pork chops from sticking to your air fryer basket and also helps brown the exterior of the pork chops.
How To Make Honey Mustard Pork Chops
- Mix together the mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the pork chops and toss to coat with the sauce.
- Spray the air fryer basket and place the honey mustard pork chops inside.
- Cook the pork in the air fryer until it is cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time and spraying with oil again.
Can I Stack The Porkchops When I Cook Them?
You can stack things like fries and tater tots in the air fryer, but you can't stack meat (or at least uncooked meat). An air fryer cooks the food by circulating hot air around it. Foods like french fries have enough empty space between them that they're able to cook fully. Things like raw meat, however, can't get enough hot air circulating around them in order to cook properly.
The last thing you want to do is ingest meat that hasn't been cooked fully! So if you decide to cook more meat than can fit in your air fryer basket, just cook it in multiple batches to ensure it's cooked sufficiently.
How Long Do They Last?
For the best results try to enjoy the air fried pork chops within 3-4 days of preparing them. After this, you chance the meat spoiling or losing some of the delicious flavor or texture that it had when it was initially cooked.

Being a foodi novice can you air fry from the racks and put two levels of pork chops on the racks and not use the basket?
Thanks Kevin

You have great recipes and I want you to benefit financially from your website for this service. But I just wanted to let you know that the number of ads and pop-ups you have is overwhelming! For most recipe sites, I keep bookmarks of recipes I want to go back to and revisit the site when it's time to make that item again. But for yours, I find myself copying the recipe down so that I never have to return to that particular page - the ads are just too distracting when you're trying to follow the directions and cook at the same time. A few ads are fine and understandable - just not this many. Just wanted to share that feedback.

YUM!! Would this recipe be okay if I used whole grain mustard?
