Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
Breading Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Thoroughly massage pork chops with a dynamic blend of aromatic seasonings, creating a flavor foundation that penetrates deep into the meat.
- Prepare two distinct mixing vessels: one housing a silky egg and milk emulsion, the other containing a robust seasoned flour mixture with layered spice profiles.
- Immerse each pork chop first into the creamy egg wash, ensuring complete coverage, then meticulously enrobe in the seasoned flour coating, pressing gently to create a crisp, adherent crust.
- Warm a generously sized cast-iron skillet, introducing a substantial layer of oil that will transform the chops into a golden delicacy.
- Carefully lower the flour-encrusted pork chops into the sizzling oil, allowing them to develop a rich, amber exterior while maintaining a juicy interior.
- Monitor the cooking process, flipping the chops once to achieve an evenly bronzed appearance and confirm doneness through temperature verification.
- Transfer the expertly fried pork chops onto an absorbent paper surface to eliminate excess oil, allowing the crisp coating to set and maintain its textural integrity.
- Present the succulent, crackling-covered pork chops immediately, capturing the peak of their crispy, flavorful perfection.
Notes
- Ensure pork chops are at room temperature before breading to promote even cooking and crispy exterior.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee precise doneness, preventing dry or undercooked meat.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or cornmeal for coating if you have dietary restrictions.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels before seasoning to help breading adhere better and create a crunchier texture.
