Crispy Pork Cutlets
Ingredients
  • 4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
Instructions
1
Prepare the pork chops by positioning them between two rigid, airtight containers on a stable surface. Use a meat mallet to gently but firmly flatten the pork chops to an even thickness of 1/8 inch (about.32 cm). Add a pinch of salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences.
2
Fill a skillet with oil, leaving approximately 1/2 inch (about.32 cm) of space at the top. Heat the oil over a medium-high heat setting to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3
Prepare three distinct containers for the breading process. In one container, place the flour; in another, the egg; and in a third, the panko crumbs. Dip each cutlet into the flour, followed by the egg, and finally the bread crumbs, ensuring a smooth coating. Gently tap off any excess crumbs to achieve an even layer.
4
Fry the cutlets over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets from the skillet with paper towels to drain excess oil.
