Bon Appetit
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
4 7-ounce center-cut pork loin rib chops (each about 3/4 inch thick)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
preparation
Mix flour, cornstarch and garlic salt in medium bowl. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge pork chops in flour mixture (do not shake off excess).
Pour enough vegetable oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 inch. Heat oil to 350°F. Fry pork chops in oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side

I've never fried anything with cornstarch - was worried about that but so many reviews were positive that I had to try it - added extra spices as many suggested - we are spicy eaters - and they were probably the best pork chops I've made - nice and juicy with a good crispy coating - I did let my pork chops "rest" 10-15 min. after coating them so I wouldn't loose the crust - I've found that to work on most fried foods. Thank you for this recipe!
the 2 to one flour to corn starch ratio makes the perfect crust
