Fried Chicken Benedict Directions

1. 1

   Soak the Chicken

   In a bowl, soak chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Prepare the Coating

   In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

3. 3

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in flour mixture, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Cook the Bacon

   In a separate pan, cook black pepper bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Poach the Eggs

   Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Crack eggs into individual ramekins, then gently slide each into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. 6

   Make the Hollandaise Sauce

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk until thickened. Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth and creamy.
