Ingredients
– 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– 6 slices of bacon
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
Equipment Needed
– Large skillet
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk
– Meat tenderizer or rolling pin
– Tongs
– Paper towels for draining
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by patting your pork chops dry with paper towels. This step is essential for achieving that beautifully crispy coating! Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix the flour and paprika together. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk until well combined. Now comes the fun part! Dredge each chop in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg mixture, and then back into the flour, making sure to coat thoroughly. I like to press the flour into the meat for an extra crunch.
