Simple is best! These crisp and golden brown Pan Fried Pork Chops come together with about 5 minutes of prep for an easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 - 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops ((about 1 - 1 ¼ - inch thick, about 12 ounces each))
2 teaspoons seasoned salt (such as Lawry's brand)
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or sage

Steps:

  • Place flour in a shallow dish.
  • Pat pork chops dry and season liberally with seasoned salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Melt butter and oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned on both sides and a meat thermometer registers 140°F - 145°F (about 7-10 minutes per side). Smaller bone-in pork chops will cook in 5-6 minutes per side, so just keep an eye on your chops and use the thermometer to know when they're done. The internal temperature of the pork chops will continue to rise after you remove them from the pan.
  • Transfer pork chops to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Note: Depending on the size of your pan (and pork chops), you might need to cook the pork chops in batches of two. Just make sure that you don't overcrowd your pan by trying to squeeze too many chops in at once!

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.

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

Tips:

  • Choosing high-quality pork chops is essential for a flavorful and juicy dish. Look for chops that are firm, pink, and have a slight marbling of fat.
  • Tenderizing the pork chops before cooking helps break down the tough fibers and ensures a tender and succulent result. Use a meat mallet, tenderizing tool, or marinade to achieve this.
  • Seasoning the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and other spices adds depth of flavor. Rub the spices into the meat, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
  • Using a combination of cooking methods, such as searing and braising, creates a perfectly cooked pork chop. Searing gives the meat a golden-brown crust, while braising allows it to become tender and fall-off-the-bone.
  • The addition of flavorful liquids, such as chicken broth, white wine, or apple cider, during the braising process infuses the pork chops with even more flavor.
  • Cooking the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit ensures that they are safe to eat and still retain their juiciness.
  • Allowing the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.
