buffalo ranch pork chops
I had these beautiful pork chops & wanted to give them the ranch dressing flavor but thought they needed something else. So I decided to give them a bit of a kick by using Buttermilk & hot sauce. Adding a couple of eggs to the milk & hot sauce would assure that the breading would stick to the chops. I let the chops marinate in the milk mixture for 10 minutes then drained off the excess liquid, and covered them with a Ranch Parmesan Panko Breading, and baked them in the oven for 35 minutes. They turned out very moist, tender and juicy, and the flavor was great. Can't wait to make again.
