Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 cups crispy fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray or neutral oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray or coat it with neutral oil.
Place the crispy fried onions in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.
In a second shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge each pork chop first in the flour mixture, coating evenly and shaking off any excess.
Next, dip the pork chops into the egg mixture, ensuring a thin, even coating.
Press the pork chops firmly into the crushed onion crumbs, coating completely on both sides.
Arrange the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. The onion crust should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
