Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops ½ inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt + more to season the pork chops
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper + more to season the pork chops
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of ground cayenne optional
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley chopped for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Using a paper towel, pat the pork chops dry. Season both sides with seasoned salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine flour, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne.
  • Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Set aside on a plate until ready to cook.
  • Once the oil is hot enough to fry, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the oil.
  • Carefully add pork chops to the hot skillet. Depending on the size of the pork chops, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. An internal temperature between 145-150F for medium-rare, 150-155F for medium, and 160F for well done.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
