Hickory Smoked Breaded Pork Chops

            Hickory Smoked Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 pork chops

1 cup of bread crumbs

1 egg

½ cup milk

1 tbsp ground garlic

1 tbsp chili powder

2 tsp course ground black pepper

Preparing Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium heat (350). Add your wet hickory chips to the fire and oil the grill. A cooking spray is easiest for this. (Note: you can add your hickory directly to the grill or you can use foil smoke packets.(Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.) 

Directions:

In a bowl beat the egg and milk, set aside.

Place dry ingredients in a large zip lock bag and shake to mix.
Dip a pork chop in the milk bath and turn covering completely and drop it into the bag of seasoning and gently shake to cover. Remove chop from bag and place on a platter. Repeat process until all your chops are covered.

Place chops directly on the grill and cook 3-5 minutes per side. (Be CAREFUL here, chops vary in size as does your grill temperature so watch them closely or you’ll be serving Sole of Shoe….)

I use a spray bottle with a Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke mix that keeps things moist and adds tons of flavor. (Mix is 3 parts Worcestershire and 1 part liquid smoke in a 16oz. spray bottle.)

Note: Patti likes to make her own bread crumbs using cheese crackers.
