In a large skillet or frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of bread dropped into the oil browns in about 60 seconds.
Fry the Pork Chops:
Carefully add the pork chops to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each chop for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve:
Serve the crispy fried pork chops hot with your favorite sides. They pair well with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
Tips:
For extra crispiness, you can double-coat the pork chops: dip them in the flour and egg mixture again before coating with breadcrumbs.
To keep the pork chops warm and crispy, place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a warm oven (about 200°F or 93°C) while you finish frying the rest.
Enjoy your delicious, crispy fried pork chops!
