Description

This robust fried pork rub delivers deep Southern flavor with a perfect balance of heat and savory depth. The blend typically features coarse salt, black pepper, and aromatic spices that create a delicious crust when fried. It pairs beautifully with tender pork chops, ribs, or fried chicken pieces, adding a satisfying crunch and rich taste. Ideal for casual weeknight dinners or weekend barbecue gatherings, this easy-to-make seasoning ensures every bite is packed with bold, home-style character. Simply mix the dry ingredients and coat your meat before cooking for an instant flavor upgrade that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, celery salt, Lawry seasoning salt, and Tony's Louisiana seasoning. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  2. Pat the pork pieces dry with paper towels to ensure the rub adheres properly and the meat fries crisply.
  3. Sprinkle the spice rub generously over both sides of the pork, pressing gently into the meat.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Carefully place the seasoned pork into the hot skillet. Fry without moving for 3-4 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  6. Flip the pork and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ðF (63ðC) and the exterior is crispy.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Note

Storage: Store any leftover dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Substitutions: If you don't have Tony's or Lawry, you can substitute with additional garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne for heat.

Tip: For extra flavor, let the seasoned pork sit for 15-30 minutes before frying to allow the spices to penetrate the meat.

Safety: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 145ðF (63ðC) followed by a 3-minute rest.

Variation: This rub also works well on chicken thighs or ribs. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the meat.
