OLD-FASHIONED PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS



Old-Fashioned Pan-Fried Pork Chops image

I thought it was time to revisit on old-fashioned cooking method: Pan Frying. Is it time to bring it back? Go into any of the wonderful family-style restaurants in the South and order a pan-fried pork chop, and you are served a thing of beauty. For some reason, this no-fuss, easy method has fallen out of favor with home cooks (maybe because most recipes are so vague..."Season pork chop, cook in frying oil until done".) Follow my instructions and you will yield a beautifully browned, moist chop...serve with Macaroni & Cheese and some greens, and you will have a fast, old-fashioned weeknight supper.:)

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground red pepper)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
4 bone-in-rib pork chops (chops between 3/4 and 1 inch are best for this recipe) or 4 center-cut pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick (chops between 3/4 and 1 inch are best for this recipe)
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Pat the chops dry with paper towels. Cut 2 slits about 2 inches apart through the fat on the edges of each chop (Since pork chops have a tendency to curl when cooked at high heat, cutting the slits will prevent this from happening). Season both sides of the chops with the spice mixture, then dredge the chops lightly in the flour (do NOT discard the flour). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the chopped bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve for another use. (if having baked potatoes with the pork chops, serve with sour cream, chopped chives, and sprinkle on the cooked, chopped bacon -- YUM!) Do NOT wipe out the pan!
  • Add the oil to the fat in the pan and heat over medium-high heat until just smoking. Return the chops to the flour dish and turn to coat. Cook the chops until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve and enjoy!

1 medium egg
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch ground ginger

4 pork chops

Steps:

Tips:

  • To tenderize the pork chops, use a meat mallet or tenderizing tool to gently pound them until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper, or use your favorite seasonings. For a more flavorful chop, consider marinating them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for frying the pork chops. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the pork chops. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as this will make them tough and dry.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned fried pork chops are a simple yet delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by using different seasonings or marinades.
