Instructions

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
Place pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet until they are about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet to about 375°F, ensuring it's about ¾ inch deep over medium-high heat.
Coat each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are covered. Then dip each chop into the beaten eggs and return to the flour mixture for another coating.
Carefully place the coated pork chop into the hot oil, maintaining the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F. Fry for about 3 minutes on one side, flip them, and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Transfer the fried pork chops to a plate lined with paper towels and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Repeat the dredging and cooking process with the remaining pork chops, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Serve the pork chops hot and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the oil temperature is accurate for optimal crispiness of the pork chops.
For a flavor boost, feel free to add additional spices to the flour mixture.
