Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and buttermilk together to make an egg wash.
Dip each pork chop into the flour mixture, coating all sides, then dip into the egg wash, and back again into the flour mixture for a second coat. Make sure each chop is well coated.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops into the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet; you may need to fry them in batches.
Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
