Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups crushed spicy snack chips
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce and buttermilk. Whisk until fully blended.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.
Step 3
In a separate shallow dish, combine the crushed spicy snack chips, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each pork chop in the chip mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a thick, even coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, place the coated pork chops in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
