Chicken Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation Steps
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the Chicken
Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of flour to the remaining oil. Stir for about 1 minute, then slowly whisk in milk. Cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
