Steps:

• To make the brine: Put the water in a large bowl and stir in the salt and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice cubes and cool the mixture to at least 45 degrees F. Submerge the pork chops in the brine. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4. Remove the pork chops from the brine, pat dry, and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until ready to cook. To make the gravy: In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula or fork. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat and discard. Reserve the fat in a cup for cooking chops. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet; stir to coat. Gradually stir in the half-and-half, nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add more half-and-half if the sauce becomes too thick. Season, to taste, with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cover the skillet and set aside while you cook the chops. Sprinkle the chops generously with pepper. Dredge then in the flour, shaking off excess. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the reserved fat plus additional oil to a depth of 1/8-inch over medium-high heat. Put the chops in the pan, as many as will fit without crowding, and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. If you're cooking more than one batch of chops, keep the fried chops warm in a preheated 250 degrees F oven. To serve, put 1 chop on each diner's plate (you will have 2 remaining for second helpings) and spoon the gravy over them. Serve extra gravy on the side to pour biscuits or grits.;

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Pour the buttermilk into a shallow baking dish and set aside. In another shallow baking dish, stir together the flour and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the House Seasoning and set aside.
• Stir together the hot sauce, mustard and the remaining teaspoon of the House Seasoning in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning onto both sides of the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the buttermilk and turn to coat completely.
• Pour enough oil into a large cast-iron skillet to come 1 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F.
• Working with one piece at a time, remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat in the flour mixture and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until the chops are browned and reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain.
• For the table gravy: Meanwhile, drain the oil from the skillet. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in the half-and-half, a little at a time. Bring the gravy to a simmer and simmer until thickened, whisking occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the House Seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Wash pork chops, pat dry and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil - medium high heat.
• Dredge chops in flour and shake of excess and sear in the heated oil - cook for about 1 minute per side to brown.
• Remove chops from skillet and place on a brown paper bag to absorb excess oil.
• Turn skillet to medium low and add onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes to soften the onion and then add chops back to the skillet.
• Cover with 1/4 cup water and put a lid on the skillet and steam the chops for about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from pork chops.
• Sprinkle pork chops lightly with salt and pepper.
• Brown chops on both sides in hot oil, and drain on paper towels.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet.
• Add flour to skillet, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.
• Stir in seasoning sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Add pork chops to gravy; cover and simmer 45 minutes, turning chops occasionally.
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Steps:

• Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Set aside. Place the flour in a shallow plate and mix with cayenne, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F on a deep-fat thermometer.
• Meanwhile, to cook the pork chops, add the chops, one piece at a time, to the seasoned flour and turn to coat both sides. Shake to remove excess flour.
• Add the pork chops to the hot oil without crowding. Fry until golden brown on one side and the juices are starting to pool on the surface of the meat, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chops. Cover the skillet, decrease the heat to low, and cook until the center of each chop registers 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, remove the chops to a warm platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Pour off most of the grease, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan along with any browned bits. Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour. Using a wooden spoon, cook the roux over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until nutty brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low, and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To give the chops a little crunch, I sometimes add a few tablespoons of fine cornmeal to the seasoned flour. You can also season the mixture with paprika in addition to the cayenne.
