Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Marinate
Pour the buttermilk over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Take each piece and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Fry the Chicken Bites
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
