Short on time but still want a delicious, crispy pork joint? We’ve got you covered with this air fryer pork joint. Perfect for a Sunday roast or midweek meal when you’re craving comfort.



  1. 1 hour before cooking, remove the pork joint from the fridge and dry the joint with kitchen paper.
  2. Score the surface with a sharp knife (or ask you butcher to do this for you).
  3. When ready to cook, heat up the airfryer to 200-210’C
  4. Rub the surface with the oil and salt.
  5. Place in the airfryer on 200- 210’C setting for 20 minutes to get a crispy crackling.
  6. Reduce the temperature to 160’C for a further 40-50 minutes per kilo.
  7. Airfryers can vary therefore check that the internal temperature is 70’C (the core temperature will rise upon resting).
  8. When ready turn off the airfryer, open slightly and leave the meat in to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
  9. If the cracking isn’t crisp enough you can remove the skin and place it in the airfryer on 210-220 for 10-15 minutes.
