These southern-style fried pork chops will tantalize your taste buds! Marinated in a spicy buttermilk bath and then breaded with flavorful flour, these tender and juicy cuts of meat provide the ultimate crunchy texture - you won't be able to get enough!
Place the pork chops on a plate and season well with seasoned salt and black peper to your liking.
Buttermilk Marinade
Pour the buttermilk into a gallon size ziploc bag
Add the Siracha or any hot sauce of your choice. Seal the back and press until combined.
Place the pork chops into the back, push out the air and seal tight. Massage the marinade into the pork chops. Set in the refridgerator on a plate or bowl to prevent leaks. Let the pork chops marinade for 2-6 hours.
Southern-Style Pork Chop Breading
Add flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a gallon Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and massage until well combined.
Transfer the pork chops from the marinade to the flour mixture one at a time. Make sure to allow the excess marinade to drip off before adding them to the flour mixture.
Push the air from the bag and seal it. Massage the flour mixture into the meat and shake the bag vigorously to allow for a good coating of the flour mixture.
Remove the pork chops from the Ziploc and place on on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the meat to rest for 20 minutes to set the flour.
Pan Fry Southern-Style Pork Chops
Heat oil over medium high heat.
Fry until golden brown on both sides. 2-3 minutes per side for thin chops and 5-6 minutes per side for thicker ones. If needed, you can finish in the oven for 10-20 minutes at 350F.
Once fried, remove and add to a paper towel to drain oil.
