Crispy Shake and Bake Pork Chops

🌟 Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in L&S pork chops
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch!)
• 2 tbsp cornmeal (optional, adds texture)
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (for a deeper flavor)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, but amazing!)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top (this helps keep the chops crispy).
2. In a bowl, whisk the egg (or buttermilk).
3. In a large zip-top bag or bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, spices, and Parmesan. Drizzle in olive oil and mix well.
4. Coat each pork chop by dipping it in the egg, then placing it in the bag and shaking until fully covered.
5. Arrange on the wire rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. (Use a meat thermometer – 145°F for juicy pork!)
6. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
