Why are my pork chops always soggy?

Set the breaded pork chop or chicken cutlet on top of a wire rack (and not on paper towels) to allow air to circulate around the meat, preventing it from steaming. The heat that made the moisture steam out of the breading while it was in the oil can make it soggy again if you're not careful.
