Here are Paula's tips on making a simply delicious pork chops.
1. Buy bone in pork chops for added flavor.
2. Salt and pepper the pork chops and add a little garlic powder
3. Beat Pork chops with meat mallet to break down the meat a bit.
4. Sprinkle with buttermilk on both sides.

hey y'all today I'm going to talk about
0:03
fried pork chops on the podcast you know
0:07
uh when I invite Jamie Dean over to eat
0:11
I'll say what do you want son and he
0:12
said mommy you know I want fried pork
0:14
chops I just love them so I want to just
0:19
tell y'all what I've learned over the
0:21
years about a wonderful tender
0:26
mouthwatering fried pork chop now the
0:29
first first thing I want to do is salt
0:32
and pepper my pork chops now you can get
0:35
uh different cuts of a pork chop you can
0:38
get one that looks like a porter house
0:40
it's got the filet on one side and then
0:43
the the strip on the other or you can
0:46
get one with just like a blade with no
0:49
filet and you can even get boneless pork
0:51
chops but you know I'm a bone girl I
0:56
knowing the bone of a pork chop is my
0:59
favorite thing to do so I always buy the
1:02
bone in and after I salt and pepper
1:05
these and uh I use a little garlic
1:08
powder on them as well I'll take my meat
1:11
mallet and I will beat my pork chops
1:15
because it's a muscle so I want to break
1:18
down that muscle uh just in case it
1:22
might be a little on the tough side so
1:24
I'll beat them down on both sides uh
1:28
just just enough to to break the muscle
1:32
and then I'll just sprinkle it with
1:35
buttermilk on both sides I don't drench
1:38
them uh just sprinkle it and let that
1:41
sit in for a minute and then I put it
1:45
into self-rising flour and I dredge it
1:48
good and um I love cooking my pork chops
1:53
and a in a cast iron
1:55
skillet uh because it'll get so hot and
1:58
it'll retain that heat and I always use
2:02
peanut oil uh because of the flavor of
2:05
it and
2:06
because it has a higher resistance to
2:10
burning so I'll put just enough um
2:14
peanut oil in in my pan so it's not to
2:19
cover the pork chops you can deep fry
2:21
them and they're good but I usually will
2:24
just um put enough peanut all that it
2:28
covers the pork chop like half
2:30
halfway and uh I'll cook it over like a
2:33
medium high heat and uh I'll cook it for
2:38
maybe three or 4 minutes per side really
2:41
depending on how thick your pork chops
2:44
are um and then I'll just line a a bacon
2:50
sheet with a with a paper bag from the
2:53
grocery store I'll I'll press that down
2:58
and use that as a drain for my pork
3:00
chops and then I'll put a couple of U
3:03
pieces of paper towel on top of that and
3:07
I'll put them on my cookie sheet in a
3:08
warm oven because when you fry pork
3:12
chops at the Dean
3:15
House you're frying more than one batch
3:18
it may be three or four batches that I'm
3:20
frying so just throw them in the oven
3:23
and keep them warm in fact um wow we
