ingredients needed

ingredient notes

• Pork chops: 1-inch thick bone-in pork chops. I recommend the rib chop.
• Breadcrumbs: Use Italian breadcrumbs, not PANKO. Plain bread crumbs will also work just add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
• Oil: I recommend vegetable or canola oil

how to make this recipe

• Step 1: In a large ziplock plastic bag combine bread crumbs and the seasoning mix and give it a shake until combined.
• Step 2: Next add the oil to the seasoned breadcrumb mixture and mix it until combined.

• Step 3: Add in a pork chop and seal the top of the bag.
• Step 4: Shake the breading mixture until the pork chop is coated. Repeat until all are coated.

• Step 5: Place the coated pork chops on the rack.
• Step 6: Bake until golden brown.

recipe tips

• I prefer to use 1-inch thick-cut bone-in pork chop, but boneless pork chops can also be used if they are thinner you'll have to reduce the cooking time.
• Use a cooling rack placed on top of a baking sheet to prevent the pork chops from getting soggy on the bottom.

The Botton of your baked pork chops can get soggy if placed directly on the baking sheet. Placing your coated pork chops on a wire rack that's placed on a baking sheet allows the air to circulate and create that crispy coating.
