Method
Fried Chicken Salad Directions
- 1
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, submerge the chicken breast in buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
