Fried Pork Chops Done Right Recipes

Steps:

• Generously coat salt, pepper and paprika on both sides of chops.
• Place flour into a plastic bag.
• Shake chops in bag to coat flour and then set aside in a plate for 5 to 10 minutes. Then shake and flour in bag a second time.
• Pour oil into a 10 inch frying skillet. Turn burner on to medium high. (On my stove top there are numbers 1-10) I use 6 as medium high to begin.
• Once a piece of flour dropped into oil and it sizzles, place chops in and turn down to 5 which would be considered medium.
• Let chops fry just a few seconds then turn over -- then again for a few seconds. This will be repeated approximately 3 times for turning to each side.
• Once you see oil begins to stop sizzling, they are done and should be a golden brown. Do not get too dark brown or they will be tough.

Steps:

• Mix milk with first amount of salt (2 teaspoons) and allow pork chops to soak in this mixture for as long as you'd like, about an hour to maybe four works well. Overnight soaking will result in too much moisture & your breading will fall off.
• Remove pork chops from brine, and set aside. Brine should be discarded.
• Mix all spices in with flour.
• Heat oil in pan.
• Coat each side of the pork chops, applying pressure to make the batter stay on during cooking. One coat is good for a thin layer of batter. For a thicker coating, dip them in a separate bowl of a little milk with an egg mixed well, and again in the flour.
• Make sure oil is hot. You can check by dropping a pinch of flour in, and it will sizzle if it is. Oil temperature should be around 375 degrees F, if you have an oil thermometer.
• Cook on each side 4-6 minutes on each side, or until meat is no longer pink inside. Chops with bones will take a bit longer, and we cook them on one side until blood starts to come out of the bone before flipping. If you have a meat thermometer, the inner temperature should be at least 160 degrees F.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine flour, seasoning salt, salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Place pork chops into the bag, and shake to coat.
• When the oil is nice and hot, shake off excess flour from pork chops, and fry in the hot oil. Cook on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden on the outside, and juices run clear.
