Ingredients
  

4 pork chops, bone-in, 1-inch thick

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork Chops: In a large bowl, place the pork chops and pour in the buttermilk. Ensure each chop is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum tenderness.

    Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

      Dredging Process: Remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom (about 1/4 inch). Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.

          Fry the Pork Chops: Carefully add the coated pork chops to the hot oil. Fry in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

            Rest the Chops: Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes.

              Serve and Garnish: Serve the crispy pork chops warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
