Preparing the Chicken

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be used to coat the chicken.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
