Fried Pork Chops
Description
Starting with bone-in or boneless pork chops, this recipe uses a double dredging process with seasoned flour and egg wash to ensure a crisp, flavorful crust when fried in hot vegetable oil. The seasoning mix includes kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, giving the coating a balanced savory profile.
While frying the pork chops to a golden brown, a simple gravy is prepared from butter and flour cooked into a roux, then milk is added and simmered until thickened. Seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, this gravy is spooned over the cooked pork chops before serving. The chops should be cooked until golden and cooked through, usually about 5-7 minutes per side.
The fried pork chops with creamy gravy make a hearty dish suitable for a family dinner. Garnishing with chopped parsley adds color and a mild herbaceous note. This classic preparation highlights the contrast between the crunchy breading and juicy interior of the pork.
