Fried Pork Chops are a Southern favorite that remind me of dinnertime at Grandma’s: crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. This easy recipe comes together in 30 minutes, with each chop dredged in seasoned flour and pan fried to golden perfection.

Add the vegetable oil to skillet, cast iron is recommended. Heat the oil up over medium on the stove.
Place the clean pork chops into a large bowl, and add all of the seasonings. Rub the seasonings into the pork chops evenly, and thoroughly.
Place the flour in a shallow dish; baking dish or a large platter. Season the flour with a light sprinkle of the same exact seasonings from the pork chops.
Begin to bread the pork chops by adding them directly into the flour mixture one at a time. Coat each side with the seasoned flour, and press the flour into the pork chops.
Remove the pork chops from the flour and place on a piece of parchment paper, or a cooling rack so that the flour can set. Repeat this process until each pork chop is thoroughly coated in the seasoned flour.
Once each pork chop is coated, carefully add them, one at a time, into the hot vegetable oil. Place them in one single layer, careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry the pork chops for about 5 minutes, and flip to the other side. Then fry an additional 5-7 minutes for a "hard fry." Adjust to your level of doneness.
Remove the pork chops from the oil and place them on a clean bed of paper towels, or a cooling rack so that all of the excess oil can drain.
Repeat this process until all of the pork chops are fried.
