EASY GLAZED PORK CHOPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).
• Rub the pork chops in the spices generously.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them. Once you feel that they are looking browned, add a Tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop. Turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar. (Don't add the brown sugar too early or else the sugar will burn and smoke up the room.)

• Before serving, pour the glaze that's formed in the pan over the chops. Serve with your vegetables of choice.

TASTY TENDER PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Remove pork chops from refrigerator one half hour ahead of preparing them.
• 2. Empty one sleeve of saltine crackers into food processor and pulse till crackers are in 1/4-inch pieces and smaller. If you don't have a food processor, use a zip lock bag and rolling pin. Pour crumbs a into shallow container (I use a metal pie plate).
• 3. Beat eggs until well combined and pour into shallow pan ( again I use a pie plate).
• 4. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour enough olive oil in the bottom just to coat.
• 5. Dredge pork chops, one at a time, in the beaten eggs, coating each side. Then put pork chops in cracker crumbs, pressing down to coat thoroughly. Turn pork chop over and repeat pressing down firmly to coat well.
• 6. Put pork chops in hot oil and salt and pepper each one. Fry till a golden brown and turn pork chop over and again fry till golden brown (you may have to pour more oil in the skillet again just to coat).
• 7. When pork chops are golden brown on each side, reduce heat to low and pour five ounces of water in the skillet. Cover with a lid to let steam for about 20 minutes. Check about every 10 minutes to make sure they aren't burning or need more water. If they need more water, add just 2-3 ounces.
• 8. After the 20 minutes is up, check and see is they are fork tender (fork should go in and pull out easily). If not, cook covered with lid till they are fork tender.
• 9. When fork tender, remove lid and increase cooking temperature to slightly over medium heat. Cook till bottom side crispy then turn chop and fry till that side is crispy. Serve with fried apples, hot biscuits and butter.
• 10. If I am serving them with fried apples, I use the saltine crackers. If I'm serving them with oven fried potatoes or another vegetable and salad, I sometimes will use crushed buttered garlic croutons...just follow the above direction. Have also used roughly crushed Chicken Stove Top dressing with tasty results.

THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.
