Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
- 1 cup Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together to create an egg wash.
Place the Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour in a separate shallow dish.
Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, coating both sides evenly, then dredge it in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres to the pork chop.
Arrange the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil or spray them with additional cooking spray to encourage browning.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Once baked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a crisp salad.
