Pan Fried Pork Chops

Marie's Note:

I have been searching for years for a foolproof method of cooking pork chops and finally found it. These are wonderfully moist and very tasty. This is a Bon Appetit recipe and I found it on the Epicurious web site.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 4 center-cut pork chops, apprx 3/4 inch thick
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Mix flour, cornstarch and garlic salt.
2. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge chops in flour mixture and shake off excess.
4. Pour enough oil into large skillet to reach depth of 1/2" to 1".
5. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
6. Fry chops in oil until golden about 5 minutes per side.
7. Note: I found they cooked much quicker.
8. Avoid overcooking or they will be dry.

This was a winner of a recipe !!! I also used onion powder, salt and pepper on the chops. Dredged them in flour then egg then panko bread crumbs and deep fried them. Delicious and so tender !! Thank you for the recipe idea.

This was a great pork chop recipe. My go-to method of cooking pork chops is on the outside grill but I've been searching for an indoor method to use in lousy weather and now I've found at least one of them. I seasoned the chops with Paula Deen's 'House Seasoning' (salt, pepper and garlic powder) before dredging them in the flour and cornstarch mixture. I did fry them for the full 5 minutes on each side because my chops were slightly more than 3/4 inch thick (my butcher thinks I don't notice that he does that!!). They were perfect, some crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside and delicious. I'm so glad I tried this recipe. Thank you Marie for another great recipe!
