Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and buttermilk together to make an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the flour mixture, coating all sides, then dip into the egg wash, and back again into the flour mixture for a second coat. Make sure each chop is well coated.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops into the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet; you may need to fry them in batches.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork chops and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
