Hammered out some pork chops to get them a little thinner, then marinated them for a couple of days (whoops, kinda forgot I had them in the fridge!).
I left them a little moist to get the crumbs to adhere, and then coated them with an old box of Shake n Bake (that James has had since sometime before the Nixon era,) and tossed them on the MAK griddle with about 1/4" of oil (I used olive oil and a couple Tbsp of bacon fat) to cook them up.
Served them with some lovely baked potatoes, and didn't feel a bit guilty about forgetting to serve veggies. Taters were phenomenal-- nice and fluffy, with a good firm skin. But....
My question is: Is there any special trick to keep the breading from sticking to the pan when you flip the chops? The first side did great, but when I went to pull them off the grill, the whole bottom coating stayed on the griddle instead of the pork. Not sure if I didn't use enough oil, the wrong kind of oil, or if coating the chops in egg first would help with that?
Thanks for any input/advice!
