Lightly Coated Fried Thin Pork Chops Recipes

CRISPY FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• Pour buttermilk and hot sauce into a 9x13 pan and stir to combine. Submerge seasoned pork chops into buttermilk mixture and set aside. Refrigerate up to 6 hours, or use right away.
• In another shallow bowl, stir together flour, cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, 1 teaspoon black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
• Working one at a time, remove pork chops from buttermilk mixture. Shake it gently to remove the excess. Place it in the dredging mixture and coat thoroughly. Tap off the excess.
• Place the breaded chops into the 350 degree oil. Fry 2 to 3 chops at a time. The meat will drop the temperature of the oil so keep it as close to 350 degrees as possible. Fry each piece for 4 to 5 minutes, per side, until golden brown and pork is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• Remove from the oil and place on paper towels. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

BREADED FRIED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Set 3 wide, shallow bowls on a work surface. Add flour to the first one; beaten eggs to the second; and panko, Parmesan cheese, and sage to the third. Season panko and Parmesan with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
• Fill a large cast iron skillet or straight-sided sauté pan with 1/4 inch oil or clarified butter. (To speed things up even more, use 2 skillets simultaneously.) Heat cooking fat over high heat until shimmering and just shy of smoking. A bread crumb dropped in it should sizzle and foam immediately.

BASIC PAN-FRIED THIN PORK CHOPS (NO EGG)

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Dredge each pork chop into the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour.
• (if your pork chops are a little dry, rinse and shake off then dredge no egg needed).
• Place oil in a large, heavy skillet and heat over high. When hot, add chops to skillet and cook 1 minute each side, until browned and crisp, working in batches as to not overcrowd the pan. Makes a great pan-sear.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

PERFECT FRIED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse pork chops and pat dry with paper towels, making sure to remove all excess moisture.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, steak seasoning, and salt to taste.
• Dip each side of the pork chops into the seasoning mixture, then set aside on a plate.
• Heat canola oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and once it is hot (between 325-375 degrees F), add butter to the skillet.
• When the butter is melted, cook pork chops 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
• Dispose of the excess oil.
• Remove fried pork chop to a plate and repeat with remaining porch chops.
• Store them in an airtight container to eat them as leftovers on busy weeknights.
