Prep the Pork Chops<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Place pork chops in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them.<\/li>\n<li>Let soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for extra tenderness).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2. Season the Flour<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>3. Dredge the Chops<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove pork chops from buttermilk, letting excess drip off.<\/li>\n<li>Coat each chop thoroughly in the seasoned flour.<\/li>\n<li>Press the flour in well for a crispy crust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>4. Fry the Pork Chops<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Heat about 1\/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Fry pork chops for about 4\u20135 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Make the Bacon Gravy<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In the same pan, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble.<\/li>\n<li>Leave about 2 tbsp of bacon grease in the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in flour and cook for 1\u20132 minutes (this makes a roux).<\/li>\n<li>Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.<\/li>\n<li>Cook until thickened.<\/li>\n<li>Add crumbled bacon and season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Serve<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Place pork chops on a plate and spoon the bacon gravy generously over the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For extra crispiness: double-dip (flour \u2192 buttermilk \u2192 flour again).<\/li>\n<li>Keep cooked chops warm in a low oven (90\u2013100\u00b0C) while frying the rest.<\/li>\n<li>Serve with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or coleslaw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country Fried Pork Chops with Bacon Gravy Crispy fried pork chops topped with creamy, smoky bacon gravy\u2014classic comfort food.
