Double Crunch Honey Garlic Pork Chops

This is my absolute FAVORITE stumble upon recipe. It was sooo delicious, I went back to the store the next day to buy more pork chops for dinner later that week! We loved it and I'm already looking forward to having more of that savored flavor in my mouth! Yum. Yum. I cut the recipe in half so I wouldn't have to deal with the extra cooking and major left overs. The best Pork Chops EVER! Enjoy.





Ingredients:

6 center loin pork chops, well trimmed
1 cup flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground thyme
1 tsp ground sage
1/2 Tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 eggs
4 Tbsp water
Honey Garlic Sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
3 – 4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup honey
¼ cup soya sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:

Sift together flour, salt, pepper, ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, and paprika.
Make an egg wash by whisking together 2 eggs and 4 tbsp water.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then dip the chops in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the chop into the eggwash 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 2 tbsp olive oil and 3 – 4 cloves minced garlic. Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown. Add:

1 cup honey
¼ cup soya sauce

1 tsp ground black 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.
