Description
Golden, crispy fried pork chops with a crunchy coating and tender, juicy inside. A fast, flavorful dinner made with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- ½ tsp coarse black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- 2 eggs
- 4 to 6 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.
- Beat eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
- Place pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet to thin them to about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
- Heat oil about ¾ inch deep over medium-high in a cast iron skillet. Heat oil to 375°F.
- Dip each pork chop in the flour mixture, coating both sides. Then dunk each side into the beaten eggs and back into the flour mixture.
- Carefully lower the pork chop into the heated oil, maintaining an oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F. Fry for about 3 minutes on the first side, flip, then cook for another 2 minutes on the second side, or until the pork chop reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Transfer the pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
- Continue dredging (dipping in flour, egg, flour mixtures) the remaining pork chops and cooking, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
- Serve immediately.
