Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should reach 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Carefully add the pork chops to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
5. Drain and Serve:
Transfer the fried pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps them tender.
Tips:
Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature to ensure crispy results. If the oil is too hot, the coating may burn before the pork is cooked through; if it’s too cool, the pork chops may become greasy.
Resting: Letting the pork chops rest after frying helps keep them juicy.
Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning in the flour and breadcrumbs to suit your taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
These Crispy Fried Pork Chops are a delicious and satisfying meal that pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw. Enjoy your crispy, golden, and flavorful pork chops!
