Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine all Brine ingredients and stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add Pork Chops and ensure they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
In a shallow dish, whisk together all Breading ingredients.
In another shallow dish, whisk together all Egg Wash ingredients.
Remove Pork Chops from brine and pat dry with paper towels.
Dredge each Pork Chop in the Breading, then dip in the Egg Wash, and finally coat again with the Breading, ensuring full coverage.
Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place Pork Chops in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C).
Remove Pork Chops from skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.
