Southern Fried Pork Chops and Gravy

Step 1

Lightly season the pork chops and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Mix the buttermilk and eggs in one bowl, and combine the flour and spices in another bowl.

Step 4

Dredge the pork chop in the buttermilk and then in the seasoned flour, being sure also to coat the sides.

Step 5

Fry the pork chops in the oil and butter until crispy and golden, about 5-6 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Transfer cooked pork chops to a serving platter and leave the drippings in the pan so you can make the gravy.

Step 7

Add chicken broth, onion and garlic powder, and Creole seasoning or cajun seasoning to the drippings.

Step 8

Simmer the sauce until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 9

Finish the sauce with salt and pepper, if needed, and two tablespoons of butter.

Step 10

Preheat the air fryer to 350F/180C.

Step 11

Mix the buttermilk and eggs in one bowl, and combine the flour and spices in another bowl.

Step 12

Dredge the pork chop in the buttermilk and then the seasoned flour, being sure also to coat the sides.

Step 13

Place in the air fryer basket. Make sure the pork chops are not touching.

Step 14

Cooking can be anytime between 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of pork chops flipping the pork chops halfway through. My air-fried pork chops took 9 minutes. When cooking these the first time, I recommend aiming for 10 minutes and then checking.

Step 15

Remove the air fried pork chops from the basket and serve.
