Crispy Fried Pork Chops

Here’s a simple and tasty Crispy Fried Pork Chops recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
2. Set Up a Dredging Station:
   • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Coat the Pork Chops:
   • Dip each pork chop in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
   • Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Return the pork chop to the flour mixture, pressing down to coat it well.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking (around 350°F or 175°C).
5. Fry the Pork Chops: Fry the pork chops in the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Drain and Serve: Transfer the fried pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
