hey y'all today I'm gonna talk about
0:03
fried pork chops on the podcast you know
0:06
when I invite Jamie Dean over to eat
0:10
I'll say what he won't son and he said
0:12
mommy you know I won't fried pork chops
0:14
I just love them so I want to just tell
0:19
y'all what I've learned over the years
0:21
about a wonderful tender mouth-watering
0:26
fried pork chop now the first thing I
0:30
want to do is salt and pepper my pork
0:33
chops now you can get different cuts of
0:37
a pork chop you can get one that looks
0:39
like a porterhouse it's got the filet on
0:41
one side and then the the strip on the
0:45
other or you can get one with just like
0:48
a blade with no filet and you can even
0:50
get boneless pork chops but you know I'm
0:53
a Bond girl
0:55
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 I use a little garlic powder
1:08
on them as well I'll take my meat mallet
1:12
and I will beat my pork chops because
1:15
it's a muscle so I want to break down
1:18
that muscle just in case it might be a
1:22
little on the tough side so I'll beat
1:25
them down on both sides just just enough
1:29
to break the muscle and then I'll just
1:34
sprinkle it with buttermilk on both
1:37
sides I don't drink them just sprinkle
1:40
it and let that sit in for a minute and
1:43
then I put it into self-rising flour and
1:47
I dredge it good and I love cooking my
1:52
pork chops and up in a cast-iron skillet
1:56
because it'll get so hot and it'll
1:58
retain that heat and I always use peanut
2:02
oil because of the flavor of it and
2:06
because it has a higher resistance to
2:09
burning so I'll put Justin
2:13
enough peanut all in in my pan so is not
2:18
to cover the pork chops you can deep-fry
2:21
them and they're good but I usually will
2:24
just put it enough peanut oil then it
2:28
covers the pork chop like halfway and
2:31
I'll cook it over like a medium-high
2:34
heat and I'll cook it for maybe three or
2:39
four minutes per side really depending
2:42
on how thick your pork chops are and
2:46
then I'll just line a baking sheet with
2:51
a with a paper bag from the grocery
2:53
store I'll I'll press that down and use
2:58
that as a drain for my pork chops and
3:01
then I'll put a couple of pieces of
3:04
paper towel on top of that and I'll put
3:07
them on my cookie sheet in a warm oven
3:09
because when you fry pork chops at the
3:12
Dean house you're frying more than one
3:17
batch it may be three or four batches
3:20
that I'm frying so just throw them in
3:22
the oven and keep them warm in fact um
3:26
while we talking about pork chops
3:28
there's something I want y'all to see
3:33
I finally got it together I think
3:35
Jamie's only complaint is Mama's not
3:37
