Fry the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
