Chicken and Marinade

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Fry chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring continuously until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
