Method
Preparation
- 1
Season the Pork Chops
In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mix all over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Breading Process
- 2
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs and paprika.

Bread the Pork Chops
Dredge each seasoned pork chop in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet and heat until it shimmers.
- 5
Fry the Pork Chops
Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
