Note

For extra crispiness, dredge the seasoned pork chops in a light coating of flour before frying.

Always use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked safely to 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispness.

Marinating the pork in buttermilk or yogurt for 30 minutes before cooking can help tenderize the meat further.
