Instructions
Fry the Pork Chops
1. Pour the flour, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder into a large bowl. Mix the ingredients until everything is well incorporated. Set the bowl aside.
2. Wash the pork chops in cold water, and put them on a plate. Pour about 1 inch of cooking oil into a frying pan. Turn the burner on the stove on high, and let the oil heat. Sprinkle a little bit of flour over the top of the oil. When it starts bubbling when the flour is sprinkled across, the oil is ready for cooking the pork chops. Reduce the heat to medium high.
3. Dredge the pork chops through the flour mixture on both sides, and put the pork chops in the frying pan. Use tongs for picking up and turning the pork chops. Flip the pork chops in the pan every 3 to 5 minutes. Cook the pork chops until the breaded pork chops are brown and crispy.
4. Slide the tip of the meat thermometer into the side of each pork chop. When the pork chop reaches 160 degrees, remove them from the frying pan, and drain the pork chops on paper towels.
5. Remove the pan from the stove. Keep the oil in the pan. You need it for the gravy.
Make the Gravy and Serve
6. Add 1 cup of water to the remaining flour left in the bowl for dredging the pork chops. Mix the flour mixture with a spoon until it is a thin paste with the consistency of thin pancake batter. Add more water if necessary.
7. Place the pan with the oil back on the stove, and turn the heat to medium. Pour all the flour mixture into the oil a little bit at a time. Cook the ingredients in the pan on medium heat until it boils. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low.
8. Fill a cup with water, and add water to the gravy if it gets too thick. Add a couple spoonfuls of flour to the gravy if it's too thin. Stir in the flour until all of the lumps are all gone.
9. Set the fried pork chops in the gravy. Layer the pork chops on top of each other, if necessary. Spoon some gravy on top. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve.
