Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the breading stick better.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly. For extra crunch, gently press the breadcrumbs onto the surface of the meat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by sprinkling a few breadcrumbs into it; they should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if needed.
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fried breaded pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
