Pour oil into heavy pot to a depth of 1/2 inch, and place over medium-high burner (oil should be about 350 degrees).
Dredge Setup
Mix flour, garlic powder, pepper, and seasoning salt in low dish, like a pie pan. If desired, beat eggs into a separate shallow bowl, and spread breadcrumbs in their own low dish.
Optional Dredge
If desired, dip chops into egg wash, then into breadcrumbs. Press chops into crumbs on all sides.
Fry
Gently lay chops into hot oil. Leave at least 1 inch between chops. Turn after 3-5 minutes when just turning brown.
Bake
Remove chops from oil to a large baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour.
Mix cream of mushroom soup, milk, and wine.
Remove foil, pour gravy over chops and return to oven (uncovered) for 30 minutes.
Notes
Thin, or medium, thickness chops work best. The second dredge in egg wash & breadcrumbs is optional. The frying step does not fully cook the chops, it just browns the outside.[nutrition-label]
