Crispy, juicy, mouth-watering, and ready in 45 minutes? That’s my Air Fryer Ham with Honey Sriracha Glaze recipe! Ham in the air fryer is just amazing!
Dripping with spicy-sweet honey sriracha glaze, this Air Fried Ham is a show-stopper. It smells so good while it’s cooking and tastes even better.
Ham in the Air Fryer
Air Fryer Ham is the perfect showstopper for Christmas or Easter and even for Sunday Supper! Everyone at the table will come back for seconds.
I love how easy it is to prepare and it tastes amazing. This is the crispiest, juiciest ham I have ever made. There is something about the crackling crispy ends and juicy middle that makes this recipe so amazing. The best part is it saves space in the oven so you can fit all your holiday side dishes in there.
What really takes this recipe over the top is the sriracha honey glaze. Sriracha and honey blend together so well, for a sweet glaze with a spicy kick. Surprise your guests with this deliciously spicy air-fried ham! The ingredients are so simple but come together to make an amazingly tasty glaze that also keeps the ham moist.
I will never cook ham any other way. This was the juiciest most delicious ham I have ever made!

Air Fryer Ham Ingredients
- boneless ham
- sriracha
- butter
- garlic powder
- green onions, sliced
How to Air Fry Ham
- Combine honey, sriracha sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and green onions in a bowl and mix well.
- Score your ham by making shallow, even cuts across the top in one direction, and then again in the opposite direction.
- Lay on top of a sheet of foil large enough to wrap around it entirely.Brush on about ⅓ of your honey glaze using a spatula or silicone basting brush. Make sure not to use all of the glaze – you will need it again.
- Cover entirely with the foil. Place in the air fryer and cook at 300°F for 20 minutes.
- Once 20 minutes is up, unwrap and brush on another ⅓ of your honey ham glaze. Wrap the ham in foil again, and cook for another 20 minutes.
- After the final 20 minutes is up, remove the foil. Brush the remaining glaze on top. Then, fold the top of the foil into an edge. Cook at 360°F, uncovered, for 5 minutes, to caramelize the outside. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
- Applying the honey sriracha glaze three times during cooking keeps it moist and juicy and gives it a beautiful crispy skin.
I like to mix up the glazing on hams and this is one of my favorite ham glaze recipes.
Air Fryer Ham Cook Time
5 lb. boneless ham cooks for 45 minutes. If you go smaller, it will cook for less time.
- 2 lbs.: 10 minutes for initial cook time, 10 minutes for the second cook, 5 minutes without foil
- 3 lbs.: 15 minutes for initial cook time, 15 minutes for the second cook, 5 minutes without foil
- 4 lbs.: follow the recipe as-is
Air Fry Ham Recipe Tips
- Scoring the top allows the glaze to seep in as it cooks, creating an overall juicy and delicious dinner ham recipe.
- Cooking and glazing in intervals give it even more flavor as well as keeping it moist and juicy.
- Don’t let the foil touch any of the heating elements of your air fryer. If it does, it is too large for your fryer.
- If yours is too large for your air fryer, cut it in half and cook both halves separately.
How to Keep Ham from Drying Out
The trick is adding plenty of glazes and cooking it in foil.
- I score and glaze ours, then wrap it completely in foil and cook for 20 minutes.
- Then, we remove it to unwrap it and brush on more glaze, before re-wrapping it and placing it back to cook for another 20 minutes.
- Finally, the last bit of glaze is brushed on and it’s cooked without foil for just a few extra minutes to caramelize the skin.
How Much Ham Per Person
You will need about ½ lbs. per person if you are using a boneless ham.
| Amount of People | Ham Weight |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 2 pound ham |
| 3-4 | 2 pound ham |
| 4-6 | 2-3 pound ham |
| 10-12 | 5-6 pound ham |
| 12-14+ | Two 2-3 pound hams cooked separately |
If you need to serve more people, we recommend cooking 2 smaller ones separately if using the air fryer.
How Long to Cook Ham in Air Fryer
| Ham Weight | Cook time at 300°F |
|---|---|
| 2 pounds | 25-30 minutes |
| 3 pounds | 35-40 minutes |
| 4 pounds | 40-45 minutes |
| 5 pounds | 45-50 minutes |
The internal temperature of precooked ham should reach at least 145°F. All air fryers are different, so your ham may need more or less time.
Ham in Air Fryer Recipe FAQs
I use 5 lb. boneless ham in this recipe. It is perfect for my air fryer. You just need to make sure there is enough room for the heat to circulate. Take the size of your air fryer into account.
If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to go smaller. A 6 qt. air fryer will fit a 3-5 lb. boneless ham depending on the model.
Leftover ham lasts 4 days in the refrigerator
Ham lasts 2 months in the freezer. I like to freeze it by cutting it into slices, then adding it to freezer bags, and pressing out the air. Label with the freezing date and store until ready to use.
