Pan-Fried Pork Chops
These pan-fried pork chops are rubbed with just the right amount of cayenne, paprika, and onion powder to make them interesting yet not offputting to the spice averse. An easy meal that comes together in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 to 6 (about 1 1/2 pounds) thin-cut bone-in pork chops, (about 1/2 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup mild vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Mix well. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the pork chops, coating both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops in a single layer and fry, turning once, until golden brown, and the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C), about 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
- Serve on a serving platter or individual plates, and devour.
