Pat the chops dry and season with half the salt. Put the flour on one plate, the egg in a shallow bowl and the crumbs mixed with the garlic powder, paprika and remaining salt on another.
-
Coat each chop in flour, then egg, then press firmly into the crumbs.
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until a pinch of crumbs sizzles at once.
-
Fry two chops at a time for 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack and serve with the lemon.
Small Things That Help
- Press the crumbs on firmly so they stay put in the pan.
- If the crumbs darken too fast, lower the heat and add 1 minute to each side.
- Fry in batches; a crowded pan lowers the oil temperature and the coating turns greasy.
