3. 3

   Place the chops in a container with bread crumbs and shake until the sides of the loin chops are coated.

4. 4

   Heat a skillet or frying pan then pour-in cooking oil.

5. 5

   Deep fry for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not cook in high heat as it will burn the bread crumbs before the meat is done.
