Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the flour and cornstarch together to create the dry coating.
Step 3
In another dish, whisk the buttermilk and egg together to form the wet coating.
Step 4
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Then dip it in the buttermilk mixture, and finally dredge it again in the flour mixture for a double coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the oil and let it melt, ensuring a flavorful frying medium.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F / 175°C), carefully add the pork chops to the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and drain them on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
