Method
Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare for Frying
In a shallow dish, place the flour mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Fry Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in flour until well-coated. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Cook Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula until soft curds form and the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Bacon

Cook Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Biscuits

Prepare Biscuit Dough
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.
