Ingredients

Flour Coating

Buttermilk Dip

  • 2 1/2-3 pounds boneless center cut pork chops
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For Frying

  • 1/4 cup canola oil (or your favorite oil)

Instructions

For the Flour Coating

  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch and spices. Mix well.
  • Pour 1 cup of buttermilk into a shallow bowl.
  • Take a pork chop and dunk it into the buttermilk. 
  • Then dredge the pork chop in the flour mixture and turn to coat.
  • Place the pork on a plate to rest. The pork should rest for 30 minutes before frying so that the coating does not come off during cooking.

Fry the Pork

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, place the chops in the frying pan and allow it to cook for 4-5 minutes. Fry in batches if you have a small skillet.
  • Turn the pork to cook on the other side and cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
  • Remove the pork to a wire rack with paper towels underneath to catch drips. Allow the pork to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
