Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Preheat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Skewer the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each wooden skewer.

Fry the Skewers
Carefully place the skewers in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.
