Season the thin cut pork chops with hot sauce and one egg yolk, spreading it evenly.

Add a teaspoon of seasoned salt, half teaspoon of garlic powder, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper to the pork chops and mix well.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, a tablespoon of corn starch, and optional half teaspoon of baking powder.

Add a teaspoon of seasoned salt, a teaspoon of paprika, half teaspoon of onion powder, and half teaspoon of turmeric to the flour mixture and mix.

Coat the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside to rest.

Heat a 13-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and fill it halfway with vegetable oil.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying by testing with a small piece of flour.

Fry the pork chops for 7-10 minutes on the first side without touching them, then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes.
