FRIED PORK CHOP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine flour, seasoning salt, salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Place pork chops into the bag, and shake to coat.
• When the oil is nice and hot, shake off excess flour from pork chops, and fry in the hot oil. Cook on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden on the outside, and juices run clear.

LIGHTER FRIED PORK CHOP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Season the pork chop with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and add to the skillet. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes more. Give the lemon half a good squeeze over the chop.
• Next, add the cannellini beans and spinach to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and the spinach is just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Give the beans and spinach a good squeeze of the lemon half.
• Serve the beans and spinach alongside the pork chop with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Use the tenderizer side for a few whacks at the end. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chop with salt and pepper.
• Finely crush the butter crackers in a large plastic resealable bag.
• In a small baking dish, combine the flour and cayenne. In a second dish combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the crushed crackers to a third dish.
• Dredge a pork chop through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and then through the crushed crackers, making sure to coat on each side. Set on a sheet tray and continue with the remaining chops. Rest the chops for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. This will help the breading stick to the chops.
• Fill a large high-sided skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
• Using tongs, carefully place the pork chops in batches, into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once halfway through cooking (only if the chops are not submerged), until golden brown and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pork and serve.
