Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Marinate the Pork Chops: In a bowl, soak the pork chops in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Chops: Remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake: Place the coated pork chops on the wire rack. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden brown.
- Serve: Let the chops rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your favorite sides.
