Sometimes nothing tastes as good as some good ‘ole Southern cooking and some Southern Fried Pork Chops!
Rarely do we eat fried foods, but when we do, one of our favorite recipes is the one my husband taught me for Southern Fried Pork Chops. It takes just a little bit of time, and very few ingredients. In fact everything you need is probably right there, already in your kitchen. And if you love pork chops, but fried food isn’t for you, I have several other mouth-watering pork chop recipes on the site such as this one for Parmesan Garlic Pork Chops!
If you do want to give these Southern Fried Pork Chops chops a try, here’s how to make them. Enjoy!
Southern Fried Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops
1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
1.5 to 2 tbsp. powdered garlic (depending on your tastes)
1 tbsp. paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
Large Freezer Bag
Instructions
Begin by adding the vegetable oil to a large frying pan and heating over medium high heat. While the oil is heating, add the flour, garlic and paprika to a large freezer bag and mix together.
Rinse the pork chops under cold water, allowing to drip dry until they are damp, then place them in the bag. Seal it, and shake until the chops are completely covered in the seasoned flour mixture.
Once the oil is hot enough, remove the chops from the bag and carefully place them into the oil.
Cook for about five minutes on each side, until the outsides are golden brown.
Once the pork chops are finished, I prefer to place them on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any of extra oil, then season to taste with the salt and pepper.
Serve and enjoy!

I’m a southern belle as well, this is exactly how we fry our pork chops! So simple and a southerner’s favorite.

My family’s preference is boneless pork chops. Will it make that much difference if I dont use bone-in?
Alaina Bullock says
Hi Tillie!
Nope. I;ve used boneless for this as well – just keep an eye on them so they do not overcook. Depending on thickness of the cut, they most likely will not take as long to cook. Enjoy!
