Crispy Fried Chicken

Method

Crispy Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

French Toast

    Mix the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

  2. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cream Cheese Icing

  1. 6

    Make the Icing

    In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 7

    On a plate, stack a piece of French toast topped with a piece of fried chicken. Drizzle with cream cheese icing, seasonal berries or peaches, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, and caramel drizzle. Serve with syrup on the side.
