Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 or 6 center cut pork chops (about 3 lbs.)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 to 4 tablespoons oil for frying or bacon drippings
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk

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.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
4 thin bone-in pork loin chops (about 2 pounds total)
Canola oil, for frying
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup half-and-half
Generous pinch of Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

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.

Provided by Rachel Farnsworth

Categories     Main Course     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless pork loin chops (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup Buffalo Hot Sauce (optional)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

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.

  • Remove from the oil and place on paper towels. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

KENTUCKY FRIED PORK CHOPS



Kentucky Fried Pork Chops image

You could call this recipe "Kentucky Chicken-Fried Pork Chops"! Since reverse-engineering KFC's 'Colonel's Secret Original Recipe Seasoning', I've discovered the best pork chop ever -- one made with my Recipe #453973. Upon a few trials I decided I like boneless 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick top loin pork chops best for this recipe. So tender, so tasty... I'm sure 'The Colonel' himself would say "Mmm, these are finger-lickin' good!".

Provided by The Spice Guru

Categories     Pork

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4-6 pork chops, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 boneless 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick top loin pork chops
4 cups water
1 tablespoon unseasoned meat tenderizer
1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
1 cup pre-sifted all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons seasoning (Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat))
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • NOTES: FOR LOWER SODIUM PORK CHOPS YOU MAY SOAK THEM IN BUTTERMILK OVERNIGHT INSTEAD OF BRINING. IF YOU WISH TO MAKE GRAVY, FOLLOW Recipe #422335 OR THE RECIPE IN Recipe #487767. (STEP ONE): RINSE fresh or naturally-thawed 3/4-1-inch thick boneless top loin pork chops and blot.
  • MIX the TENDERIZING BRINE ingredients together in a large resealable container until dissolved: 4 cups water, 1 tablespoon unseasoned meat tenderizer, and 1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning; ADD pork chops to brine; TRANSFER container to refrigerator; MARINATE pork chops between 4-36 hours in refrigerator, turning chicken as needed (marinate 36 hours for the most tender, flavorful pork chops).
  • INTO a large resealable container or Ziploc bag, add 1 level cup all-purpose flour and 3 level tablespoons Recipe #453973; SEAL the container; SHAKE mixture well until thoroughly combined.
  • FILL a large bowl with very warm water; REMOVE pork chops from marinade with tongs; SOAK chops in very warm water a minute.
  • PLACE 1-2 pork chops at a time into the breading mixture container; SEAL container firmly; SHAKE container gently in all motions to thoroughly coat chops until evenly and generously breaded.
  • PLACE breaded pork chops on a wire rack; BREAD remaining pork chops; ALLOW chops to rest and absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying.
  • PREHEAT the manufacturer's recommended amount frying fat in your deep-fryer to 315°F (OR) preheat enough fat to immerse cube steaks completely in deep heavy stovetop pot to 325°F (frying fat will drop to 315 -°F, which you will want to maintain, using a deep-fryer thermometer to gauge).
  • ADD breaded pork chops to the elevated fry basket in deep-fryer without crowding (if a standard size home fryer is used, add no more than 2-3 pieces at a time); LOWER the basket slowly into the hot fat (or gently lower breaded pork chops using tongs into stovetop pot, turning once halfway through frying duration).
  • DEEP-FRY pork chops about 7-8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on portion/size (meat will no longer be pink and pork juices will run clear when done); PLACE pork chops onto a paper towel-underlined rack to drain for a minute or two; REPEAT the same cooking procedures until all pork chops are fried; KEEP pork chops warmed in a 175°F oven until serving.
  • FOR SOFTER BREADING: Place pork chops into a large resealable container then seal (the steam will soften the breading for added Original Recipe authenticity). Re-heat pork chops if necessary before serving in microwave oven, using same setting as if reheating 2 frozen pastries; SERVE with gravy if desired and enjoy!
