Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the breading stick better.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 7

Finally, press the pork chop into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly. For extra crunch, gently press the breadcrumbs onto the surface of the meat.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by sprinkling a few breadcrumbs into it; they should sizzle immediately.

Step 9

Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if needed.

Step 10

Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the fried breaded pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
