Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cornstarch divided
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard or yellow mustard if preferred
- 1 clove garlic minced or ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¾ cup cornflake crumbs, store-bought or 3 cups cornflakes processed in food processor for about 8-10 seconds so you don't end up with powder.
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper divided
- 4 oz boneless pork chops ½ to ¾ inch thick, trimmed
- ⅓-½ cup vegetable oil for frying
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Place ⅓ cup cornstarch in shallow bowl.
- In second shallow bowl, whisk buttermilk, mustard, and garlic until blended.
- Combine cornflake crumbs with remaining cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
- With sharp knife, slice 1/16-inch-deep slits on both sides of pork chops, spaced ½ inch apart, in a crosshatch pattern.
- Sprinkle chops with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Dredge a pork chop in cornstarch making sure to shake off excess.
- Using tongs, coat with buttermilk mixture allowing to excess drip off.
- Gently press and coat with cornflake mixture also allowing excess to drop off.
- Place wire rack inside rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat wire rack with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
- Place each coated chop on top of wire rack until all pork chops are covered. Allow coated pork chops rest for 10 minutes while oil heats.
- Heat ½ cup oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
- Place pork chops in skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip chops and continue to cook until second side is golden brown and crisp. Using a meat thermometer confirm that the center of each pork chop registers 140 degrees, another 2 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer chops to paper towel–lined platter and allow to drain for 30 seconds on each side. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Prep the Pork. Pat your pork chops dry with a paper towel after rinsing to help the coating stick better.
- Don't Overcook. To prevent overcooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- Choose Even Sized Pork Chops. Buy pork chops that are similar in size and thickness to promote even cooking.
- Rest After Cooking. Allow the pork chops to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Draining the Pork. Don’t let the chops drain on the paper towels for longer than 30 seconds or the heat will make the crust soggy.
