Fried Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 8 pork chops — ¾ inch thick, (about 4 pounds)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt or garlic powder and pepper.
- Season the flour generously with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the pork chops in flour until coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy deep skillet (cast-iron is perfect) to fill it to 1-inch.
- Heat over medium heat to 375 degrees. (A small cube of bread dropped in The oil will brown in about 30 seconds.)
- Add only as many of the pork chops to the skillet as will fit without touching.
- Cook them, turning them once, until cooked through (no trace of pink remaining in the center) and deep golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Use a long-handled fork or tongs to prevent getting splattered.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet to drain.
