Honey Garlic Pork Chops

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 pork chops

  (fat trimmed off, rinsed and pat dry)
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon each, salt & pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• ½ tablespoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoon water
• vegetable oil

  (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

  (extra virgin)
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon garlic

  (minced)
• ¾ cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

• 1 Start your dredging station. Combine flour, salt, pepper, ground ginger, ground
  sage, smoked paprika, and ground cayenne pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Next,
  combine the eggs and water in a second mixing bowl.
  
• 2 Add vegetable oil to your frying pan or skillet, covering the bottom with about
  a quarter inch of oil. If your pork chops are not thin cut, you will need to add
  more oil so there is enough to reach about half way up the side of your pork
  chops (you will also need to adjust your cooking time up depending on the
  thickness of your pork chops).
  
• 3 Heat your frying pan or skillet, with the oil, to just below your medium
  setting. Adjust this down, if needed, to keep your pork chops from browning too
  quickly.
  
• 4 While your cooking oil is heating, start coating the pork chops. Coat each pork
  chop by dipping them in the seasoned flour, then into the egg wash, and back
  into the seasoned flour. Coat your pork chops thoroughly with the seasoned flour
  on the last coating.
  
• 5 Carefully set each pork chop in the hot oil by holding the top corner and
  placing the bottom corner in the oil, then setting the rest of the pork chop
  down into the oil so that the top edge you are holding is pointed away from you
  (that way if the hot oil splashes up it will not splash toward you).
  
• 6 Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until nicely golden and
  crispy. Remove from the frying pan or skillet and transfer to a wire cooling
  rack to drain before serving with the honey garlic sauce.
  
• 7 Bring a medium saucepan to medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic and
  cook for about one minute to soften the garlic. Stir frequently to prevent the
  garlic from burning.
• 8 Add the remaining sauce ingredients: honey, ketchup, soy sauce, pepper. Stir to
  combine and then bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes
  then remove from heat. Allow the honey garlic sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes.
  
• 9 Serve over the pork chops by either dipping your fried pork chops into the
  sauce, or coat the pork chops individually. We like to coat the pork chops, then
  drizzle the remaining honey garlic sauce over the pork chops so that we can dip
  into the sauce too. Garnish with sliced green onion, if desired (or chopped sage
  is extra yummy!).
