Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the bone-in chicken breast, making sure it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dredging Mixture

    In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Dredge the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the dredged chicken breast into the hot oil. Fry for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving with your choice of 2 sides.
