Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a nice golden crust.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season both sides of the pork chops evenly with this spice blend.
Step 3
Spread the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. This step creates a crispy coating.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
Step 5
Place the pork chops in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can prevent even cooking. Fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to allow a golden-brown crust to form.
Step 6
Flip the pork chops and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once fully cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and flavorful meat.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
