Southern Fried Pork Chops are sprinkled with seasoned salt, pepper and a little cayenne, if you want some spice, then dredged in flour and pan fried until perfectly golden and delicious! This southern favorite is simple, but oh so scrumptious!

Easy steps to making southern fried pork chops

  • First mix seasoned salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the flour.
  • Then lightly season the pork chops with seasoned salt and black pepper too!

Trust me it’s just oh so good. Now if you despise salty food maybe leave the seasoned salt off of the chops.
