Fried Chicken

Buttermilk Biscuits

Sausage Gravy

Hashbrowns or Grits

Optional Kale

Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    Soak the boneless chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in the flour mixture, and fry until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Buttermilk Biscuits

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 5

    Add Buttermilk

    Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into biscuits and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Sausage Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook Sausage

    In a skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.

  2. 8

    Make Gravy

    Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stir to coat, then gradually add milk while stirring. Cook until thickened, season with salt and pepper.

Hashbrowns or Grits

  1. 9

    Prepare Hashbrowns or Grits

    If using hashbrowns, cook according to package instructions. For grits, boil water and add grits, cooking until thickened. Stir in butter and season with salt.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Serve

    On a plate, place a piece of fried chicken, a buttermilk biscuit, spoon over sausage gravy, and serve with hashbrowns or grits. Top with baby kale if desired.
