Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
- 4 boneless pork chops (about ½–¾ inch thick)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the Breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk or buttermilk
For Frying:
- 2–3 cups vegetable oil
For the Gravy:
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1½ cups whole milk
- Black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Set up the dredging stations. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk.
- Pat pork chops dry. Lightly pound if needed so they’re an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Working one at a time, dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, dip into the egg mixture, then return it to the flour mixture, pressing firmly so the coating adheres well. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F. You want to have about 1 inch of oil in the skillet.
- Fry pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Once they are done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Make the gravy. Carefully discard all but 2 tbsp of oil from the skillet. Whisk in flour and cook 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
- Spoon the gravy over the pork chops. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Store any leftover chicken fried pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops on a baking sheet and heat in the oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
