Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, habanero powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Beat the egg and add it to the marinated chicken mixture, then dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
