Fried Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops
• 1 cup flour
• 1-1/2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 tsp seasoned salt
• 1-1/2 tsp cayenne
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• canola oil for frying

Instructions

1. Mix flour, paprika, pepper, salt, and cayenne together in a shallow plate.
2. Beat eggs and hot sauce and milk together in a small bowl, transfer to a shallow plate.
3. Lightly cover a pork chop in plastic wrap and bash it with the flat side of a meat hammer (from the middle out) until it is half the thickness it was when you began.
4. Repeat with other pork chops.
5. Add enough oil in a heavy high sided pan (like a Dutch oven) to reach half way up the pork chop.
6. Dredge each pork chop in flour, egg Mix, then flour again and place on a rack. Allow to dry for about 5 minutes while your oil is heating.
7. Pre-heat oil until it reaches 360 F.
8. Carefully place one pork chop into the oil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Ideally, you want the temperature to stay between 360-375 F so keep a eye on it.
9. When the timer beeps, carefully flip the pork chop over and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate.
10. Repeat with the rest of the pork chops, adjusting the temperature as needed.
11. Enjoy with more hot sauce or served with rice or mashed potatoes .
