•

2 medium onions, roughly chopped
•

6 medium jalapeno peppers, stemmed
•

4 habanero peppers, stemmed
•

5 cloves garlic
•

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•

8 (5 ounce) thin-cut boneless pork chops, trimmed of fat
•

2 cups water

•

¼ cup all-purpose flour
•

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
•

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
•

1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste

1 cup canola oil for frying, or as needed

Instructions

Combine onion, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, garlic, and Worcestershire in the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth.
Pour a thin layer of marinade in the bottom of a medium rectangular glass or ceramic container so the bottom is completely covered. Place 4 pork chops in the bowl and cover in marinade. Add last 4 pork chops and pour in remaining marinade, ensuring all pork chops are coated. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Pour marinade and chops into a large saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine flour, onion soup mix, cayenne, garlic powder, and seasoned salt for batter in a small mixing bowl.
Transfer boiled chops to a cutting board, softly pat with a paper towel to remove excess liquid, and coat with batter. Discard any remaining boiling liquid.
Heat enough oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat that it fills the pan to 1/4 inch.
Fry chops in the hot oil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; flip and continue to cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
