Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
1 tsp (5 ml) onion powder
1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
1 egg
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) milk
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk.
4. Dip each pork chop in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the pork chops into the hot oil.
6. Fry the pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
