Don’t get intimidated when it comes to frying pork chops or any type of meat for that matter. It’s simple and this is an easy recipe to get you started. Pork chops are a staple in many households and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinnertime.
These pork chops are coated in a seasoned flour to help get that nice crunchy crust on the outside, then the pork chops are fried in oil to a tender and juicy perfection on the inside. It’s important that you season both sides of the pork chops with the seasonings and make sure to add some of the seasoning mixture to the flour as well. You want your pork chops to come out well-seasoned and flavorful. If you can marinate your pork chops overnight, that would be even better.

Tip:
Make sure that the pork chops are fully cooked and safe to eat. If you’re unsure, always use a thermometer to ensure doneness. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the pork chops.
