Dredge pork chops lightly in 1/2 cup of flour then brown in skillet on both sides. Once browned, remove pork chops from skillet and drain on paper towel. Set aside.

Push onions and garlic to one side of the pan then add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to skillet then sprinkle on remaining flour. Constantly stir allowing the flour to brown until it reaches a toffee color (about 5-8 minutes) then pour in chicken stock and water and whisk together.
Turn heat to high to bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in Worchestershire sauce, creole seasoning and hot sauce then turn heat down to medium.
Add back in pork chops and put lid on pan for about 25-35 minutes or until sauce has thickened and coats the back of the spoon and pork chops are nice and tender.
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and garnish with parsley if you desire.
