Kat's Mom

My Dad Swears My Sister Makes the Best Pork Chops in the World

Recipe #128503 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: ATM 67
Jul 3, 2005

My sister learned the basic flour mix from her former mother-in-law, who grew up in Carruthersville, Missouri. My sister kept hearing Emeril say how well garlic went with pork, so she added it to her seasoning mix. My dad still swears that my maternal grandmother (his former mother-in-law) made the best fried chicken ever. Born in 1919, she was the eldest daughter, and second of ten children, raised on a farm outside the town of Black Oak, Arkansas. Even after my parents divorced, Dad was occasionally invited to eat Grandmommy's fried chicken. He always relished those meals, and still talks about them today. My grandmother never told anyone, except my grandfather, her secret to breading her chicken, but she did tell my sister her trick to frying it. My sister has incorporated that method into her pork chop recipe.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix dry ingredients in a resealable bag (Ziplock).
  2. 2
    Rinse pork chops under running water. Toss them into a ziplock bag and shake, to coat well.
  3. 3
    In a cast iron skillet, cook chops in enough oil to come 1/2 way up the side of the chops, for example - 1 inch chops need 1/2 an inch of oil, on medium high heat for approximately 4 minutes each side, until golden brown.
  4. 4
    For the last 30 seconds of cooking the second side, increase heat to high, to “cook the grease out of it” (Grandmommy’s secret for fried chicken).
  5. 5
    Blot on paper towels before serving.

I made these as directed and thought they weren't flavorful. Extra spices definitely needed.

    We really liked the flavor of the pork chops. They were moist and not greasy at all. I think the breading would also be good as a coating on chicken. Thanks ATM67 and your sister. Bullwinkle.

    I tried it and it is the BEST recipe that I have ever tried for pork chop. All I can say all the chefs on Zaar have to try this one. If I could Grandmommy more than 5 stars I would definitely give this great chef more! JERSEYGIRL
