Steps:
- Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
- Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
- Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
- Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.
FRIED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Use the tenderizer side for a few whacks at the end. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chop with salt and pepper.
- Finely crush the butter crackers in a large plastic resealable bag.
- In a small baking dish, combine the flour and cayenne. In a second dish combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the crushed crackers to a third dish.
- Dredge a pork chop through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and then through the crushed crackers, making sure to coat on each side. Set on a sheet tray and continue with the remaining chops. Rest the chops for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. This will help the breading stick to the chops.
- Fill a large high-sided skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
- Using tongs, carefully place the pork chops in batches, into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once halfway through cooking (only if the chops are not submerged), until golden brown and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pork and serve.

PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS
Tender cuts of meat-chicken breasts, steaks, and chops, for example-are prime candidates for pan-frying, and when properly cooked have a mouthwateringly crisp, browned exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Pan-frying makes dinner a breeze; there is practically no preparation involved and the meat is cooked quickly and sent straight to the table. The fundamentals for achieving good results are a heavy pan, high heat, and a fairly thin piece of meat. Why does a heavy pan matter? Have you ever cooked something in a thin pan and had it burn, with the burn exactly the same shape as the electrical element below? This shows how a thin pan transmits heat directly from the burner to what is cooking instead of diffusing the heat across the pan's surface. A heavy pan can distribute heat-and a lot of it-from the burner to the bottom of the pan. This is key in pan-frying and sautéing, because the pan needs to be quite hot to sear and caramelize or brown, but not burn, the surface of what is being cooked. If I could have only one pan, it would be a cast-iron skillet. The heavy iron heats evenly, making it a wonderful vehicle for browning and frying. An added bonus is that a seasoned cast-iron pan is virtually nonstick. The next-best thing after a cast-iron skillet is a stainless-steel-lined heavy aluminum or aluminum-core frying pan. The aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, while the stainless steel offers a good nonreactive surface to cook on. Besides being heavy, the pan should have low sides so the meat won't steam as it cooks. Because pan-frying requires high heat, the meat you choose should be fairly thin. Chops should be 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and steaks 1 inch thick or less. Over high heat, thicker cuts will get crusty and dry on the outside before the inside is done. (A good method for cooking thicker chops and steaks is to brown them, by cooking them briefly on both sides at high heat, and pop them, skillet and all, into a 375°F oven to finish cooking. Alternatively, after browning, finish cooking over lowered heat, with the pan covered.) For even cooking, the thickness should be uniform. Chicken breasts can be lightly pounded at the thicker end to even them out so they will cook consistently. It is wise to have all your ingredients ready to go before you start cooking: the oil should be handy, the meat should be seasoned, and, if you are going to make a pan sauce, those ingredients should be on hand as well. Heat the pan first: a hot pan in combination with oil will sear the meat and keep it from sticking. Otherwise, the meat will sweat and its leaking juices will cause the meat to adhere to the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is hot, add a little bit of oil, or oil and butter (butter alone burns too quickly at high temperatures). Add the oil after the pan has heated so that it does not start to smoke and burn before you are ready to start cooking. For pan-frying only a little oil is needed, just enough to generously coat the bottom of the pan. After a few seconds, when the oil is shimmering, put the meat in the pan. The meat should fit in the pan in a single layer with a little space between each piece. If the pieces are crowded or overlapping, the liquid they release will keep the meat from browning; if there are large areas of the pan left exposed, the oil in these areas will burn and smoke. If necessary, fry in batches or in two pans simultaneously. Cook the meat on one side until it is nicely browned. Peek underneath after 2 or 3 minutes to monitor the browning; lower the heat if it is browning too quickly, or, if nothing is happening, turn it up. To brown the other side, turn the meat with tongs or a long, sharp-tined fork. In general, most cuts of meat need to cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Chicken breasts can cook for a longer time on the skin side, 8 minutes or so, leaving the tender meaty side to cook only a few minutes. I am an advocate for leaving the skin on...

Steps:
- Season: 4 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick with Salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in: Olive oil to coat the pan.
- Add the pork chops and cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn them over and cook until done, turning again if necessary for even cooking. Let the chops rest for 4 minutes before serving, to tenderize them.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, garlic, or lemon zest. (Chopped together this mixture is called gremolata; see page 231.)
- Serve with sage butter, chile butter, fennel butter, rosemary butter, or another herb butter (see page 48).
- Press herb leaves onto the chops before frying them. Sage, rosemary, marjoram, or savory are good choices.
- Make a quick pan sauce with 1/2 cup stock or water, cooked down by half, and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon butter whisked in. Taste for salt and stir in any resting juices before serving.
Tips:
- 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 they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pork chops. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops and lock in the juices. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them even more tender and flavorful. Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Fried pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can make sure that your fried pork chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or applesauce, and enjoy!
