❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Southern Fried Pork Chops
1. Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, you can use boneless pork chops. Just keep in mind they may cook a bit faster, so check for doneness a minute or two earlier. Bone-in chops often have more flavor and stay juicier.
2. What is the best oil for frying pork chops?
Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil work well because they have a high smoke point. You want an oil that can get hot without burning. Avoid olive oil for frying as it can burn easily.
3. How do I know when the pork chops are fully cooked?
The best way is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops are safe to eat at an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. They should also be golden brown and the juices should run clear when pierced with a fork.
4. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes, you can. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray the coated chops with cooking oil and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through. They will be less greasy but still crispy.
5. How do I keep the coating from falling off?
Make sure the pork chops are dry before dipping them in the buttermilk. Let any excess buttermilk drip off before coating with flour. Press the flour mixture firmly onto the chops. Letting them rest for 10 minutes after coating also helps the coating stick better during frying.
