Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1 cup buttermilk For soaking the chops.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For dredging the pork chops.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Oil for frying Oil for frying Use enough to cover the bottom of the skillet.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Soak the pork chops in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Remove chops from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge them in the flour mixture.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

To enhance flavor, consider adding cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. For a lighter alternative, try oven-frying.
