Notes

  • Use as few or as many pork chops that you need to feed your family. 
  • Use a seasoning salt with tenderizer to get juicy pork chops.  I recommend Johnny's brand.
  • There's no egg or breading for these crispy pork chops, just flour.
  • Let the pork chop sit with the tenderizer on it for at least 30 minutes.
  • For better frying, let the pork chops sit at room temperature for a little bit before frying.  I sprinkle with the seasoning salt, and then let sit on the counter.  This brings the temperature of the meat closer to room temperature.
  • I typically use regular vegetable oil, soybean oil, or canola oil for frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches or use multiple skillets. This will help get a golden brown color.
