Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. This helps to tenderize the chicken.

Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
