Country Fried Pork Chops

Step 1

Mix flour, paprika, pepper, salt, and cayenne together in a shallow plate.

Step 2

Beat eggs and hot sauce together in a small bowl, transfer to a shallow plate.

Step 3

Lightly cover a pork chop in plastic wrap and bash it with the flat side of a meat hammer (from the middle outward) until it is half the thickness it was when you began.

Step 4

Repeat with other pork chops.

Step 5

Add enough oil in a heavy high sided pan (like a Dutch oven) to reach half way up the pork chop.

Step 6

Dredge each pork chop in flour, egg, then flour again and place on a rack. Allow to dry for about 5 minutes while your oil is heating.

Step 7

Pre-heat oil until it reaches 360 F.

Step 8

Carefully slip one pork chop into the oil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Ideally, you want the temperature to stay between 360-375 F so keep a close eye on it.

Step 9

When the timer beeps, carefully flip the pork chop over and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate.

Step 10

Repeat with the rest of the pork chops, adjusting the temperature as needed.

Step 11

Enjoy with more hot sauce.
