Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, plus more for seasoning
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
• 8 pork breakfast chops
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1-2 tablespoons butter

How To:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
