Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set aside.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
