Pork Chops That Make You Crazy

½ cup all-purpose flour

2¼ teaspoons kosher salt

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¾ teaspoon ground white pepper

¾ teaspoon onion power

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

8 center-cut bone-in pork chops (3-3½ pounds)

2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided

Heat the oven to 200 degrees.

In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and red pepper flakes. One at a time, dredge 4 of the pork chops through the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly and shaking off any excess. Set aside.

In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until just smoking. Add the 4 coated chops and cook for 5 minutes, turning once. Reduce the heat to medium and cook another 2 minutes, turning once. Transfer the chops to an oven-safe plate and place in the oven to keep warm.

Repeat the dredging and cooking with the remaining 4 chops, using the remaining tablespoon of oil.

Serves eight.
