Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (bone-in, approximately 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until fully combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Stir until they are evenly combined.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Then dredge the pork chop in the flour mixture, pressing it lightly to ensure adherence and covering evenly.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork chops to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the cooked pork chops from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy gluten-free pork chops hot, garnished with your favorite fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
