 Ingredients

Cooking oil	1-teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup liquid*	1-teaspoon salt
1 Egg	1-teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour	1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6-8 pork chops 1/2 inch thick	1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

The great thing about frying pork chops is that is it easy and quick which is  important when you are on the go.

First thing, rinse your meat so that it is free of blood, water and additional salt or additives from packaging. After that, combine your dry ingredients. You can test the flavor by lightly wetting the tip of your finger, dabbing it in the mixture and tasting it.

Adjust to your liking, if needed. Some people like more salt, others like more spice when it comes to pork chops.

For additional crispiness on your pork chops, follow the remaining instructions. Otherwise, simple dredge your pork chops in the mixture on both sides and place into your preheated skillet with less than a ¼ -inch of oil.

Mix your liquid with one beaten egg and dip a chop into the liquid before dipping into the flour and then into your cast iron skillet.

Cook your pork chops for about 6 to 10 minutes (3 to 5 minutes on each side) total time over a medium, to medium-high heat checking to make sure that no pink liquids still escape the chops while cooking.

Repeat until your last pork chop is fried and enjoy.

If covered with flour the pork chops should be a wonderful golden color with a delicious flake to them. Pork chops cooked directly in cast iron should have a subtle char marks and juicy.
