Southern Fried Pork Chops

Crispy, golden-brown pork chops seasoned with classic Southern spices and pan-fried to perfection. This easy recipe delivers juicy, flavorful chops with a crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt (plus extra to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (plus extra to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet)
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Shake off excess and set aside on a plate.
  4. Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until butter is melted and oil is hot.
  5. Cook pork chops 2 to 3 at a time for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and no pink juices remain.
  6. Transfer cooked chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining chops.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-dip the chops in flour. Letting the floured chops rest for 10–15 minutes before frying helps the coating adhere better. Leftover oil can be cooled, strained, and reused for future frying.
