Air Fryer Lamb Chops Time & Temp Guide

By Airfryer Conversion Chart Culinary Team • Reviewed on 2025-08-17

Air fryer lamb chops are juicy, quick, and flavorful with minimal prep.

In our testing, 1-inch single chops cooked best at 390°F for 10–12 minutes, while double-cuts required 14–16 minutes. Marinated chops needed slightly lower temps to avoid burning.

For best results, always rest lamb chops for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Pro tip: Use an instant-read thermometer — lamb dries out quickly past medium doneness.
