Ingredients
2 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 sandwich buns, toasted
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Pickles
Mayonnaise or spicy mayo
Instructions
Marinate the pork chops: Pour the buttermilk into a bowl and soak the pork chops for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and add moisture.
Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Coat the pork chops: Remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each chop in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere a thick coating.
Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet, about 1/2 inch deep. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small pinch of flour sizzles on contact.
Fry the pork chops: Carefully place the coated pork chops in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Drain and rest: Remove the pork chops and drain on paper towels. Let rest for a few minutes to lock in juices.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise or spicy mayo on the toasted buns. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the crispy fried pork chop.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade fried pork chop sandwich!
