Southern Fried Pork Chops were a staple at my house growing up! I can remember my mom standing at the stove cooking them and us sitting around the kitchen counter and waiting very impatiently. And once you take a bite of these you will know why! In this age of trying to watch what we eat (well sort of), at least by that I mean I don’t make fried foods every week, this is a treat at my house when I do. And the BOYS in this family wish I made them more often here!
One thing is for certain this is really a simple dish. Southern food at it roots is simple and tasty!
First I mix my seasoned salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into my flour. Then I lightly season the chops with seasoned salt and black pepper too! Trust me it’s just oh so good. Now if you despise salty food maybe leave the seasoned salt off of the chops, but OHHHH we like it like this – YUM!
In a cast iron skillet or non stick pan, heat up your oil on medium to medium high heat. then add in butter and let it all melt! This gives the chops a perfectly golden brown, spectacular and marvelous color!
Once oil is hot. Put in two chops and cook on one side for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and cook about 3 minutes. Now ya’ll I am a cook and not a chef so sometimes you will find some abouts in here. That’s because chops are all sized and cut a little different. These are about 1/2 inch thick. We also enjoy thin cut chops like this! These I had in the freezer so this is what I was servin’ today!
Remove from oil and put on a plate with paper towels to drain the grease off.
Did I mention these are good for breakfast too! It may be a southern thang – but trust me!!! TRY IT with your eggs and grits!
Today my son was super happy because I didn’t pay much attention to a balanced meal as far as food groups went. I served these chops with Instant Pot Mac N Cheese. (That recipe will be coming up next week , so promise to come back and see me!) And a salad, okay, well there was a bag of salad in the refrigerator. – Do you ever have these days too?
Drew was over the moon, He really doesn’t care about the food groups. Hubby was out of town, so I made sure to send him pictures of what he missed. Nice emoji with lots of hearts and smiley faces returned!
I’d love to hear from you and please let me know if you make this!

I am a southerner ( sort of, from Texas and now Florida ) and I have never tried pork chops this way, but plan to do so very soon. They look delicious (even if you did once call them porch chops!) Well, none of us are perfect! Relax and keep smiling! Thanks for this recipe!
Thank you Virginia! I hope you enjoy them! Please stop back by and let me know what you think! Thanks for catching my typo too! I have corrected it! 😉 The good Lord knows I am so not perfect, but I try to find humor in everything so next time I will eat them on the porch and then all will be okay – lol! Have a beautiful week and come back soon!
I ignore the food groups more and more lately. It seems like the kids prefer the boxed stuff anyway. I told them it’s bad advertising for a food writer’s kids to eat boxed mac and cheese…. These pork chops can find their way to my table any time!
Thank you Marye! I can so relate! My son cares nothing about food groups, making my life difficult. He gags when you say the word green bean lol! Have I failed as a mom and food blogger? But he is loving my homemade mac n cheese! PTL! I have a Instant Pot Cream Mac n Cheese coming up this week!
Fried Pork Chops are a favorite! These look so delicious!!
Thank you so much! They are a favorite at my house too! Such a treat! <3
