Now THIS would be worth it!

Crunchy Honey Garlic Pork (see bottom for my substitutions)
6 to 9 thin pork chops
2 eggs
4 Tbsp water
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt and pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
oil for frying

For the Glaze:
1 1/2 cups honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ginger
dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp garlic
1 Tbsp butter

Directions:
1. Whisk the eggs and water in a shallow dish
2. Mix the flour, salt, pepper & garlic powder in another shallow dish
3. Dip the chops in the flour, then egg mixture, then back in flour mixture again. This is what puts the crispy coating on them. Be sure to get plenty of flour on the last coating, shake slightly and place in a frying pan with a half inch of hot oil.
4. Be sure the oil is hot and pan fry the chops until golden brown.
5. Remove chops from pan and put in a 9x13 baking dish.
6. Saute garlic in butter. Add the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cayenne to the garlic. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Watch carefully because it will foam and might boil over.
7. Pour half the glaze over the pork, flip over the chops and glaze the other side.
8. Place uncovered in a preheated 375 oven for about 20 minutes.

My Substitutions:
* I only had chicken breasts on hand so I used that instead of pork. I pounded them thin before coating with egg and flour. I think either chicken or pork would be delicious.
* I skipped frying them in 1/2 cup oil and fried them in a non stick skillet with about 1 Tbsp peanut oil. They still got crispy and brown.
* Pay attention to the warning about the glaze boiling over. Even though I read that mine boiled over and made a huge sticky mess.
* I served with rice and saved some of the glaze to drizzle over the rice.
