Deep Fried Ham Slices Or Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• BRINE: In a large plastic container or bag, mix all of the brine ingredients until dissolved. Place the ham in the brine and refrigerate overnight. Before frying, take out the ham and dry really well. HAM: Prepare the deep fat fryer according to manufacturer directions. Fry for 7-1/2 minutes per pound. Let it stand for 15 minutes once fried. GLAZE: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan on low heat and let reduce until syrupy consistency. Let the glaze cool slightly and then pour it over the top of the ham, serve extra glaze on the side at the table.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat deep fryer to 375 degrees.
• 2. Whisk together egg and milk.
• 3. In large bowl combine flour, salt, Lawry's, Garlic powder, pepper, Italian Herb Seasoning, meat tenderizer, Accent, Hungarian paprika and ground Cayenne pepper. Stir until mixed well.
• 4. Pound out pork chops with meat tenderizing hammer on both sides and cut in half along the width so that you have 20 halves.
• 5. Place half of the halves in the egg/milk mixture and let sit for 2 - 5 minutes.
• 6. Coat each piece well with flour mixture until completely covered and gently shake off excess.
• 7. Deep-fry chops, 5-8 pieces at a time (depending on the size of your fryer) for 4 - 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Allow chops that are waiting to be fried to soak in the milk/egg mixture until ready to coat with flour.
• 8. Drain well. Repeat process for remaining chops until all are fried and serve!
• Note: Frank's Redhot sauce is an awesome flavor if sprinkled on top before eating!

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Use the tenderizer side for a few whacks at the end. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chop with salt and pepper.
• Finely crush the butter crackers in a large plastic resealable bag.
• In a small baking dish, combine the flour and cayenne. In a second dish combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the crushed crackers to a third dish.
• Dredge a pork chop through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and then through the crushed crackers, making sure to coat on each side. Set on a sheet tray and continue with the remaining chops. Rest the chops for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. This will help the breading stick to the chops.
• Fill a large high-sided skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
• Using tongs, carefully place the pork chops in batches, into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once halfway through cooking (only if the chops are not submerged), until golden brown and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pork and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients and make sure all chops are evenly coated. Refrigerate for 2-6 hours.
• Preheat oil until Hot. (Oil should sizzle when sprinkled with a bit of flour when ready).
• Dredge pork chops in flour until completely coated. Cooking one chop at a time, drop into the hot oil until cooked through. ( about 4-5 minutes).

Steps:

• Thaw ham completely and pat dry.
• (When deep frying moisture on the surface will cause a lot of oil popping and splattering, be careful) Marinade (if using) Inject whatever marinade you want to use into several place throughout the ham (I recommend 10-15 spots).
• Place the ham in the steamer basket that comes with most turkey deep fryers and CAREFULLY and SLOWLY lower the ham into the hot oil (350-375 degrees).
• There is a lot of water in the ham!
• Since I couldn't put it in otherwise you must cook the ham about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound depending on the size of the ham and how much it cools down the oil.
• Obviously a smaller ham will take less time if the oil is hotter and a bigger ham will take longer even with the oil hot.
• If when you start the oil cools down don't worry just watch the temp and adjust your cooking time.
• Also for a bigger ham you would want to use less oil in the deep fryer so it doesn't overflow when the ham is lowered inches.
