CORNBREAD-CRUSTED FRIED PORK CHOPS



Cornbread-Crusted Fried Pork Chops image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 5- to 6-ounce bone-in pork chops, preferably center cut
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 cups finely crumbled cornbread
1 quart vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

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.

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a simple solution of salt, water, and sugar will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what really makes these pork chops special. Be sure to use a stuffing that is packed with flavor, such as the cornbread stuffing recipe included in the article.
  • Cook the pork chops properly: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the chops are cooked through but still remain juicy.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: After cooking the pork chops, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.

Conclusion:
