- 4 pork chops (or however many you want to make)
- Seasoning Salt with Tenderizer
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Sprinkle both side of pork chops liberally with seasoning salt with tenderizer. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Mix flour and black pepper on a plate.
Flour both sides of pork chops.
Add enough oil to a large skillet to cover the bottom in a generous layer. Heat over medium high heat, add pork chops but do not overcrowd.
Once the bottom is golden brown; flip and fry the second side.
Once cooked through, drain on paper towels before serving.
- 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.
