Method
Preparation and Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Dredge the Chicken
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken from the marinade and coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the chicken pieces for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk while whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
