Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Let the pork chops rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
Pour the buttermilk into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs, mixing them well.
Dredge each pork chop in the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then thoroughly coat it in the flour and breadcrumb mixture. Ensure both sides are evenly covered.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of the breadcrumb mixture into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place the coated pork chops into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the pork chops for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve your gluten-free classic fried pork chops immediately, while hot and crispy. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
