Best Tender Fried Chops Recipes

PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Rinse pork chops. (Yes, I rinse my pork chops. Please don't be hatin'.) Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine all dry ingredients. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate.
• Heat canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. (Make sure no pink juices remain.) Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining pork chops. Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow dish.
• Pat pork chops dry and season liberally with seasoned salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off the excess.
• Melt butter and oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned on both sides and a meat thermometer registers 140°F - 145°F (about 7-10 minutes per side). Smaller bone-in pork chops will cook in 5-6 minutes per side, so just keep an eye on your chops and use the thermometer to know when they're done. The internal temperature of the pork chops will continue to rise after you remove them from the pan.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Note: Depending on the size of your pan (and pork chops), you might need to cook the pork chops in batches of two. Just make sure that you don't overcrowd your pan by trying to squeeze too many chops in at once!

CRISPY PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and thyme in a third shallow bowl.
• Dredge a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it into the eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops (about 1/4 cup). When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels briefly. Serve hot with cooked spinach and lemon wedges.

Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

~ TENDER FRIED CHOPS ~

Steps:

• 1. Season chops evenly on both sides and let set for about 30 minutes.
• 2. Using a cast iron skillet works best for these chops. Place pan on burner over medium heat. Add the oil. Once oil shimmers, add chops to the pan, do not over crowd.
• 3. Cook slowly on one side about 5 minutes, lower heat some if browning too quickly as cast iron cooks much faster than other skillets. After about 4 - 5 minutes, flip chops to other side. Cook another 4 - 5 minutes.
• 4. Place lid over skillet and remove from heat. Leave set for 10 minutes for 1/2 inch chops and a little longer for 1 inch. Remove chops and de glaze pan with 1/2 cup red wine and add 1 tablespoon of butter to make a sauce.
• 5. Plate chops and pour sauce over. Enjoy!
