Oven Fried Spicy Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Pork tenderloin sandwiches are a big deal where i come from, however, greasy, deep fried food is no longer an appealing prospect for me. When i get homesick i begin to think about the comfort foods of my hometown in ohio. I think this sandwich would make them proud!!

Steps

In a freezer bag or a non-reactive 13x9 glass baking dish , combine buttermilk , cayenne , black pepper and kosher salt.

Place a loin chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a gallon size freezer bag.

Using a smooth meat mallet or a rolling pin , pound the meat until it is 1 / 8 in thick.

Repeat with remaining loin chops.

Place the 1 / 2 cup of self rising flour in a paper plate.

Dredge each pounded chop in the flour and pat off excess leaving a very thin coating.

Place each floured chop in the buttermilk.

Cover and marinate in the fridge 2 hours , up to overnight.

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Mix 1 hot and spicy shake bake packet with the 1 / 2 cup of panko crumbs on a paper plate.

Pull marinating chops from the fridge.

One by one , allow as much of the excess marinade to drip off as possible.

Dredge chops in the shake and bake / panko crumbs.

Place chops on a baking / cooling rack , or a sheet pan , that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Allow to si.
