Buttermilk Chicken

Method

Buttermilk Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they're fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Fry chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Grill Option

    Alternatively, preheat a grill and cook marinated chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
