Description
A recipe for country fried pork chops served with crispy bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dredge each pork chop first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly again in the flour mixture.
- Heat the reserved bacon grease and enough vegetable oil in the skillet to reach about 1/2 inch depth over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated pork chops into the hot oil. Fry for 4 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F).
- Remove chops from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the cooked bacon pieces.
Notes
- You can use the remaining bacon grease and oil mixture to make a simple gravy if desired.
- Pork chops should be pounded slightly to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
