Storage Information

These fried pork chops are best served immediately after making but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer:

Refrigerator: Fried pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Freezer: Place the cooled pork chops in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
