Double Crunch Honey Pork Chops

This recipe is delicious. I paired it with the Baked Potato Salad and Stirfried Kale & Broccoli. Three awesome recipes in one night created a hectic kitchen (I MAYBE over cooked one side of the pork while distracted but kids) but one of the best meals I've ever cooked.

Great thing is you can prep the pork before and then just need to fry it up and mix the sauce.

Egg wash:
  • 2 egs
  • 4tbs water
Breading mix: sift together the following ingredients
  •  1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tbsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  •  1/2tsp ground sage
  • 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
 Honey Sauce: 
  • 2tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/8 cup soya sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  Trim your pork chops of any fat. Place into the breading mix, then into the egg wash and then again into the breading mix.  Press them down into the mix so that it sticks well giving good coverage. 

Prepare the honey sauce.  Heat olive oil and garlic until starting to get soft- add in honey and soya sauce and heat until well mixed and runny- keep an eye on it it bubbles up quickly. remove from heat and set aside. 

Heat canola oil in a sauce pan so it is covered and will cover the pork chop 1/2 way. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side on a medium setting until crispy golden brown. (I admitted above I had my heat too high and they got very crispy brown) Set aside onto a plate to cool a few minutes (or onto a cooling rack) then dip into the honey sauce and serve. Poor remaining sauce over top.  Sauce is fabulous over Rice as well. 

This recipe would be delicious for chicken breasts too!
