Teary-Eyed Fried Pork Chops

These chops come with a fiery kick, likely from hot spices or peppers, making you tear up! Deep-fried for crunch, they’re bold, spicy, and not for the faint of heart.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn oil for frying 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 4 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops 1 cup pepper sauce (such as frank's red hot®)

Directions

  1. Heat corn oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until a pinch of flour sizzles in it.
  2. In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, garlic salt, pepper, and cayenne. Dredge pork chops in this mixture, then place in the hot oil. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan, and drain on paper towels.
  3. Pour the hot sauce into a shallow dish. Dip pork chops one at a time into the hot sauce, so they are nicely coated. You will have teary-eyed pork chops at your fingertips.
