Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups canola oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk and soak the pork chops, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create the seasoning blend for coating.
Step 3
Once the pork chops have marinated, remove them from the buttermilk and allow any excess buttermilk to drip off.
Step 4
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the flour adheres well to the meat.
Step 5
Place the coated pork chops on a wire rack and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the coating stick better during frying.
Step 6
In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Carefully place the pork chops in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. You may need to fry in batches depending on the size of your pan.
Step 8
Fry each pork chop for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Remove the fried pork chops from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving to retain juiciness. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
