Fried Chicken & Biscuits

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In another bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Fry the chicken in batches for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In a separate pan, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Stir in the butter, then sprinkle in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Biscuits

    Bake the buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe.

  6. 6

    Cook the Breakfast Potatoes

    Dice the breakfast potatoes and cook in a skillet with oil until golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fried chicken topped with gravy alongside the fresh-baked biscuits and breakfast potatoes.
