Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk until fully combined.
Step 3: Bread the Pork Chops
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, coating thoroughly.
Then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 4: Fry to Perfection
In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F/175°C), carefully place the pork chops into the pan.
Fry for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 5: Drain and Serve
Transfer pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, or green beans.
