Instructions
1
Preheat your broiler to high. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, finely chopped celery, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy blue cheese sauce and set aside.
2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. In a separate flat plate, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage on all sides, then shake off any extra flour.
3
Carefully place the coated pork chops into the hot skillet and cook for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chops and cook for another 4 minutes until the other side is golden as well. Once cooked, transfer the chops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
4
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the melted butter and Frank's hot sauce. Microwave on high for 15 seconds only to warm the mixture.
5
While the pork chops are resting, toast the buns by placing the cut sides under the broiler until they become golden brown.
6
Once toasted, dunk each fried pork chop into the hot sauce mixture, allowing any excess sauce to drip off. Place each hot sauce-coated chop onto the bottom half of a bun.
7
Top each pork chop with a generous amount of the blue cheese mixture, then add the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy creation!
