Season both sides of the pork chops with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Set up a dredging station with two shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and 1 cup of milk together.
Coat each pork chop in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and coat again with flour. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, cooking 2-3 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
Fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil in the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the remaining flour from the dredging station into the skillet to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in 1 cup of chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Follow with 1.5 cups of whole milk, continuing to whisk until the gravy is smooth.
Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve the fried pork chops immediately, drizzled generously with the brown milk gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
