Recipe View Season and Serve: Immediately after removing the pork chops from the oil (either pan-fried or deep-fried), season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the crushed cracker crumbs.
To prevent the cracker coating from becoming soggy, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the pork chops.
If you don't have saltine crackers, you can substitute Ritz crackers or any other plain cracker.
For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water when pan-frying.
A meat thermometer is your best friend when cooking pork chops! Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal tenderness and safety.
