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 the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.
Tips:
- To ensure perfectly cooked pork chops, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- For extra crispy pork chops, double-coat them in the breadcrumb mixture and pan-fry them for a few extra minutes on each side.
- If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, use regular breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or even cornmeal for breading the pork chops.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture to your preference. Adding some garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika is a great way to enhance the flavor.
- Serve the fried pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
