Perfectly Seasoned Fried Pork Chops

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.

Ingredients

  • 6 Pork chops center cut
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil

Seasonings (to taste)

Instructions

  • 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.
