Ingredients
For The Fried Pork Chops:
- 4 large pork chops I used thicker, bone-in chops
- 3 tablespoon buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup self raising flour
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 5 tablespoon butter divided
For The Gravy:
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon creole seasoning or Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
To Make Fried Pork Chops:
- Lightly season the pork chops and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Mix the buttermilk and eggs in one bowl, and combine the flour and spices in another bowl.
- Dredge the pork chop in the buttermilk and then in the seasoned flour, being sure also to coat both sides. Shake off any excess flour, as too much extra will cause the breading to fall off. Let meat sit for 5-10 minutes so the breading sets.
- Heat vegetable oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat about 350F / 180C.
- Fry the pork chops in the oil and butter until crispy and golden—about 3-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the cut.
- Transfer cooked pork chops to a serving platter and leave the drippings in the pan so you can make the gravy.
To Make The Gravy:
- Add chicken broth, onion and garlic powder, and Creole seasoning or cajun seasoning to the drippings.
- Simmer the sauce until the desired consistency is reached.
- Finish the sauce with salt and pepper, if needed, and two tablespoons of butter.
Make in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350F/180C.
- Mix the buttermilk and eggs in one bowl, and combine the flour and spices in another bowl.
- Dredge the pork chop in the buttermilk and then the seasoned flour, being sure also to coat the sides.
- Place in the air fryer basket. Make sure the pork chops are not touching. Spray with some oil.
- Cooking can be anytime between 8 minutes to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of pork chops flipping the pork chops halfway through making sure to spray with some oil. Mine took 9 minutes. When cooking these the first time, I recommend aiming for 8 minutes and then checking.
- Remove the air fried pork chops from the basket and serve.
Equipments used:
Notes
- For best results, use a cast iron skillet as it will distribute heat evenly and hold higher temperatures.
- Reduce the cooking time if you use thinner pork chops.
- Dry the pork chops with paper towels before seasoning and dredging. This will prevent the coating from falling off during cooking.
- Make sure the oil and butter are hot enough before adding the pork chops. You can check it by sprinkling a pinch of flour into the pan. If it sizzles, the pan is hot enough.
