For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Ingredients you will need

Meat

Equipment you will use

Meat Tenderizer

Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.

Ingredients you will need

Blackening Spice

Salt And Pepper

All Purpose Flour

Buttermilk

Dip

Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying.

Ingredients you will need

Pork Chops

Cooking Oil

Equipment you will use

Pot

Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.

Gently the drop pork chops 1 or 2 at a time, but don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling

Pork Chops works really well with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. The Jimmy John's Vin De Sandwich Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
