Turn the oven to medium heat.

Pour enough oil into the skillet to come halfway up the pork chop.

Season the flour with black pepper, salt, seasoning salt, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Mix the seasoned flour thoroughly using a whisk or by hand.

Check the oil temperature by placing a piece of wood in the skillet; it should bubble when ready.

Lightly coat the pork chop in the seasoned flour and place it in the hot oil.

Cook the pork chop for about 8 to 9 minutes until it starts browning on the sides and blood appears on top.

Flip the pork chop and cook for a similar amount of time on the other side, checking for doneness.

Remove the pork chop from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into it.
