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.

Steps:
- Put your cup of flour in a shallow pan and whisk in black pepper, salt and garlic powder. Dredge the pork chops in the flour until fully covered on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet. Brown chops on both sides, turn down heat, cover your skillet and let cook for about 15 minutes until chops are thoroughly cooked. Remove chops from pan, place on plate and cover to keep warm.
- Make sure you have at least 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan (can add more oil, if needed) Add enough flour to make a roux or paste (I use any leftover flour from dredging plus more if needed). Cook and stir until flour is browned. Add water and milk. Bring to boil and cook to desired thickness for gravy. Makes about 2 1/2 cups gravy. Serve over chops, potatoes, rice, etc.
FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH HOMEMADE TABLE GRAVY
Steps:
- For the pork chops: Pour the buttermilk into a shallow baking dish and set aside. In another shallow baking dish, stir together the flour and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the House Seasoning and set aside.
- Stir together the hot sauce, mustard and the remaining teaspoon of the House Seasoning in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning onto both sides of the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the buttermilk and turn to coat completely.
- Pour enough oil into a large cast-iron skillet to come 1 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F.
- Working with one piece at a time, remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat in the flour mixture and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until the chops are browned and reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain.
- For the table gravy: Meanwhile, drain the oil from the skillet. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in the half-and-half, a little at a time. Bring the gravy to a simmer and simmer until thickened, whisking occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the House Seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH BROWN MILK GRAVY
This is the way we cooked pork chops in my younger days down south. It is NOT a recipe for those beautiful thick chops that need tender care. It IS a recipe for quick, tasty meat with good old down home taste, and gnawing on the bone if you never make it to the gravy. Bone-in chops add a lot more flavor and they taste great with mashed potatoes. For those who grew up with brown gravy made with water, just substitute water for the milk/cream.
