My wife and I like to have fried pork chops and I often find that the breading gets slightly burnt. I am breading the pork chops and pan frying them in oil. I am just getting the oil too hot? If I don't have the oil hot enough it doesn't crisp up.
Or do I need to get the crust on them in the pan and then finish them in the oven?
Pat dry your chops and make sure they are at room temp
lightly dust with flour shake of excess dunk in egg wash
then into breading, Place in the fridge for 20min and then
make sure your oil is clean and between 350° & 360°
I slice the pork chop in half while raw (almost like butterfly, but completely seperate the cuts of meat) and then bread the thinner pieces of meat. They cook faster and do not burn. I assume some may tell you that is comprimising some of the flavor, but it works out for us.
I've never fried them in breading, I always used seasoned flour. I agree with Orangeish, thinner pork chops fry up the best. In Nashville they're called breakfast pork chops but I don't know if that's a regional thing or if the thin ones are called that everywhere.
We make it with flour first then egg then breading, and I fry it all the time in the Pan and not have had Issues with burning...unless the heat is too high.
I have never used Breading I've always used flour.
When using flour all ya gotta do is put a little flour into the oil when it starts to sizzle your oil is ready may have to put a few small sprinkles in till it starts to sizzle.
