Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.

2

Coat the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

3

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Make the Gravy

In a saucepan, add 0.5 cups of flour to the remaining oil in the skillet. Stir over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
