Porkchops
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Chops
Pat the center-cut pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and add breadcrumbs in the third.
- 3
Bread the Pork Chops
Coat each pork chop first in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each chop is evenly coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Pork Chops
Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the pork chops from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
