Fried Pork Chop Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a crispy crust.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the third bowl.

3. 3

   Bread the Pork Chops

   Dredge each pork chop first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Fry the Pork Chops

   Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

6. 6

   Drain and Rest

   Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the fried pork chops hot, paired with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
