Indulge in the comfort of Southern cuisine with these perfectly fried pork chops, boasting a crispy exterior and served with a velvety pan gravy. A classic dish that brings the taste of the South to your table.

Ingredients: 4 bone-in pork chops. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 teaspoons garlic powder. 2 teaspoons onion powder. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Salt and black pepper to taste. 2 large eggs. 1/4 cup buttermilk. Vegetable oil for frying. For Pan Gravy:. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 2 cups whole milk. Salt and black pepper to taste.

Instructions: In a shallow dish, mix together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the breading mixture. In another dish, whisk together eggs and buttermilk to create an egg wash. Dip each pork chop into the breading mixture, coating both sides, then dip into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and back into the breading mixture. Ensure an even coating. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. For the pan gravy, discard excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour into the skillet, creating a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook and whisk until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the Southern Fried Pork Chops hot with a generous drizzle of creamy pan gravy on top.
