Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1

In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breast fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Breading the Chicken
- 3

Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Allow excess marinade to drip off, then dredge each fillet in the breading mixture, pressing it onto the surface to ensure it adheres.
Frying the Chicken
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, add vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
- 6
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken fillets in the hot oil, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken fillets from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
