Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set in a rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.
- Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
- Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.

Steps:
- Place the bread crumbs in one bowl and the olive oil in another bowl.
- Coat each side of the pork chops with oil and then press them into the bowl of bread crumbs so that you thoroughly coat all sides of the chops. Press the chops firmly into the breadcrumbs to make sure you get good coverage and sitckage (well, it should be a word...).
- Light the grill and set to medium heat.
- This is important! Using tongs and a rolled up paper towel drenched in cooking oil (you can use the excess olive oil), brush the grates to coat with oil so that the chops don't stick.
- Place the pork chops on the grill and grill directly with the lid closed for about 6 - 7 minutes on each side (times depend on the thickness of your chops and the temperature of the grill). You can check the pork's doneness by picking them up on one end with tongs. Meat firms up when cooking. Remember how flexible they were when raw? Yeah, well, you want the opposite of that.
- The bread crumbs should be golden brown with some nice grill marks, delicious!

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS
Look for beautiful good-quality pork, such as Berkshire, and ask for center-cut loin chops with bone. For the bread crumbs, use day-old firm white sandwich bread or French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, for about three cups of soft, fluffy crumbs. Dry, fine store-bought crumbs will not yield the same result. Make sure to fry these chops very gently over medium-high heat, to allow the bread-crumb coating to brown slowly, creating a crisp, golden crust. Serve with a tart salad or braised greens, such as broccoli rabe.

Steps:
- Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
- Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
- Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
- Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
- Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
- Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
- Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Choose thick-cut pork chops for best results.
- Tenderize the pork chops with a meat mallet or fork to help the breading adhere.
- Use a shallow dish for dredging the pork chops in the breading mixture, to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Press the breading mixture firmly onto the pork chops, to help it adhere.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, to ensure the pork chops cook evenly and get a crispy crust.
- Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve the pork chops immediately, with your favorite BBQ sauce and sides.
