Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a cooling rack.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl. Put the pork chops in the buttermilk mixture, being sure that all 4 are submerged. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the cornbread crumbs into a shallow dish.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan. Clip a deep-frying thermometer to its side and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Lift a pork chop out of the buttermilk by its top bone using tongs, and allow any excess to drip off. Lightly dredge both sides of the pork chop in the cornbread crumbs. Carefully lower the coated chop into the hot oil. Repeat this process with a second chop. Cook the chops until crispy on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn the pork chops and fry until golden brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crispy chops to the prepared cooling rack. Sprinkle the chops with additional salt and transfer to the oven to stay warm while the remaining chops are fried. Repeat this process with the remaining pork chops.
- For the white gravy: Reserve 2 tablespoons of skillet oil for the gravy, then drain the remaining oil from the skillet, being sure to remove any bits of fried cornbread left behind. Add the butter to the skillet, pour in the reserved oil and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking, and cook until a smooth paste is formed, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk, whisking continuously. Cook, whisking occasionally, until a thick sauce is formed and the gravy coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce and season the gravy with salt and pepper as desired.
- Transfer the crispy pork chops to a serving platter. Spoon the white gravy over the chops and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS WITH PECAN CORN BREAD DRESSING AND CIDER GRAVY

- Preheat oven to 325°F.

- Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
- Sauté celery, onion, and bell pepper in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in shiitakes and sauté, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup broth and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add corn bread, pecans, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper and toss well, then transfer to a buttered 3-quart gratin dish or large baking pan.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in cleaned skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. While oil is heating, pat dry 3 pork chops and season with salt and pepper. Brown chops, turning once, about 6 minutes total, then arrange on corn bread. Brown remaining 3 chops in same manner, adding more oil if necessary. Reserve skillet.
- Roast chops on corn bread in middle of oven until pork is just cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. After pork has roasted 10 minutes, pour off fat from skillet and heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot. Add cider and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, then add remaining cup broth. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to hot cider mixture. Bring sauce to a boil, whisking constantly, then boil, whisking, 1 minute and season with salt and pepper.

Tips
- For the best flavor, use bone-in pork chops. The bones add flavor and help keep the meat moist.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the pork chops.
- Make sure the pork chops are evenly coated in flour before browning them. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the pork chops. If the pan is too crowded, the chops will not brown evenly.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion
Pork chops with corn dressing is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the corn dressing is flavorful and moist. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
