Succulent chicken fried pork chops with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Dinner doesn't get any better than this.

Ingredients

• HONEY GARLIC SAUCE:
• 6 center loin pork chops, well trimmed
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 eggs
• 4 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together flour, ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Make an egg wash by whisking together eggs and water.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then dip the chops in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the chops into the egg wash and then a final time into the flour and spice mix, pressing the mix into the chop to get good contact.

Heat a skillet on the stove with about a half inch of canola oil covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the temperature here so that the chops do not brown too quickly on the outside before they are fully cooked on the inside. I find just below medium heat works well. I use a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10 on the dial and fry them gently for about 4 or 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Drain on a wire rack for a couple of minutes before dipping the cooked chops into the Honey Garlic Sauce. Serve with noodles or rice.

HONEY GARLIC SAUCE:
In a medium saucepan add the olive oil and garlic. Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown.

Add honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Simmer together for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.
