Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a nice golden crust.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season both sides of the pork chops evenly with this spice blend.
Spread the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. This step creates a crispy coating.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
Place the pork chops in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can prevent even cooking. Fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to allow a golden-brown crust to form.
Flip the pork chops and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Once fully cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and flavorful meat.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
