Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and paprika. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, ensuring both sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the flour-coated pork chops into the egg wash, ensuring they are fully covered.
Dredge the pork chops again in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to adhere the flour to the meat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the pork chops in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fried pork chops hot with your favorite Southern-inspired sides, such as mashed potatoes, collard greens, or cornbread.
