Method
Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. Set aside for breading the chicken.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in flour, coating well. Fry chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

Honey Baste
In the last minute of frying, drizzle honey over the chicken pieces to create a sweet glaze.
