Method
Preparing the Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge each piece in all-purpose flour. Shake off excess flour and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
