Notes

Make sure you season both the pork chops and also the flour. Using seasoned salt is a nice element to add additional flavor. It is usually salt seasoned with additional spices to create more depth for your dish.

Feel free to adjust spice elements like cayenne, hot sauce and paprika based on your preference. If you prefer more spice, definitely add a bit more. Just be careful when adding cayenne because it can pack major spice.
