Wash the pork chops with lemon and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Sprinkle salt on both sides of the pork chops, being cautious as salt will also be added to the flour.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of Sazon, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of dry oregano, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Mix well.

Take a pork chop and coat it in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks. Repeat for each pork chop.

Check for excess breading on the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.

In a larger saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, adjusting the temperature to avoid burning the pork chops.

Once the oil is hot, place two pork chops in the pan at a time, depending on the size of the pan.

Cook the pork chops for approximately 6 minutes on each side, flipping them after about 3 minutes to ensure they are cooked evenly.

Once cooked, place the pork chops on a plate lined with a napkin to absorb excess oil.

Serve the pork chops with rice and sausages, and fried plantains.
