1/2 cup oil for frying
03 -
1 cup regular flour
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked)
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
06 -
A pinch of cayenne (optional)
07 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
Salt and pepper to your taste
09 -
2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk
→ Bacon Gravy
11 -
4 slices bacon, diced
12 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
13 -
2 tablespoons regular flour
14 -
Salt and pepper to your liking
15 -
2 cups whole milk
# Instructions:
01 -
In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, plus salt and pepper. Whisk eggs and milk in a different bowl to create the wash.
02 -
Dunk each pork chop into the spiced flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat again with flour. Rest them for 5-10 minutes so the breading sticks better.
03 -
Warm the oil in a big pan over medium heat. Fry chops for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (145°F inside). Use paper towels to drain the extra oil.
04 -
In the same skillet, fry the diced bacon until crispy. Pour off everything but 2 tablespoons of grease and remove the bacon bits. Add flour to the grease and cook for about a minute.
05 -
Pour milk in slowly as you whisk until it’s velvety. Cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss in the crispy bacon bits before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the chops rest before frying makes them crispier
02 -
Stir in some chicken broth to thin the gravy if it’s too thick
03 -
Tastes amazing with green beans, collard greens, or mashed potatoes
