Instructions

1️⃣ Season the Pork Chops: Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

2️⃣ Coat with Mustard: Rub yellow mustard all over the seasoned pork chops, ensuring an even coating. This helps bind the flour and enhances flavor.

3️⃣ Dredge in Flour: Place the flour in a large plastic bag or bowl. Add the mustard-coated pork chops and shake or toss well until fully coated.

4️⃣ Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

5️⃣ Fry the Pork Chops: Carefully place the pork chops into the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6️⃣ Drain and Serve: Remove the fried pork chops and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Cooking & Serving Tips

✔️ Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—internal temperature should be 145°F (63°C).

✔️ For extra crispiness, double-coat the pork chops by dipping them back into mustard and flour before frying.

✔️ Pair with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread for a complete meal.
