The secrets to the perfect pork chops are the bacon grease and double coating them with flour! This recipe will guide you toward that! Ready in less than 30 minutes, this Classic Southern Fried Pork Chops recipe is surely a must-try!
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
4 bone-in pork chops
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 bacon strips
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 c vegetable oil
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Directions:
Add onion, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and granulated garlic into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
Use paper towels to pat dry the pork chops.
Spoon Dijon mustard over each pork chop, then rub each until well coated.
Sprinkle the spices over the pork chops, then rub each again until fully coated.
Sprinkle flour over the pork chops, then rub each until fully coated. Remove any excess by shaking it.
Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the bacon, then cook for a few minutes until crispy. Store the bacon for other use. We just need the accumulated bacon grease for this recipe.
Add vegetable oil into the hot skillet, then allow it to become hot.
Coat the pork chops with flour again and shake off any excess. This makes them extra crispy!
Add the coated pork chops to the hot skillet, then cook each side for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown. (You can use an instant-read thermometer to check the pork chops. It should read 145 degrees F.)
Transfer the pork chops onto a clean serving plate. Let them sit for at least 3 minutes to incorporate all the flavors.
Serve and enjoy!
