Let’s talk about dinner! Fried pork chops make dinner time a breeze because they are so easy to make. Living in the south for such a long time has given me the privilege of being around great food.

Why are pork chops considered soul food?

Soul food and fried go hand-in-hand! It is all about the breading and the crispy exterior that is created after frying. Fried chicken and fried pork chops are stars of the south when it comes to soul food. Some of the best chops are smothered in a homemade gravy… we’ll have to go there soon!

How are the perfectly seasoned pork chops made?

One of the things I enjoy so much about fried pork chops is the flavor. Pork is naturally a bit salty, so the seasonings we add just simply enhances the flavors.

For this recipe, we used Lawry’s seasoning salt- because it’s an all-time favorite over here! A little seasoning salt goes a long way, so it doesn’t take much. Other seasonings used include paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Once the pork chops are well seasoned, its time for the breading. Adding baking powder to the flour helps create a perfectly crisp breading. Evenly coat the pork chops in the flour mixture, then add to the hot oil.

We like our pork chops to be fried a bit on the harder side, so we fry for about 7-10 minutes per side. Pork chops cook very fast, so it is easy to overcook them.

After the pork chops are golden brown on both sides, remove them from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oils. The pork chops will continue to cook a bit after they’re removed from the oil. Now it is time to serve them with your favorite side.
