Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or neutral oil of choice
- 1/4 cup butter or more oil
Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Place the seasoned pork chops in a dish or resealable bag. Pour in the buttermilk, ensuring they’re fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground mustard.
- Remove a pork chop from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Dip pork chop back into the buttermilk, coating it again. Dredge it a second time in the flour mixture for an extra-crispy crust.
- Place on a wire rack and repeat with the remaining chops. Let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and butter.
- Fry the pork chops (in batches if needed), about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145° F.
- Transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet. Serve warm.
