Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (optional for extra crunch)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. Add the flour to the first bowl. Crack the eggs into the second bowl, beat them lightly with the milk, and mix until combined. Place breadcrumbs (if using) into the third bowl.
Step 3
Dip each pork chop into the flour, coating it evenly and shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Finally, coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Step 5
Carefully place the pork chops into the skillet in a single layer. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Let the pork chops rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
