Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the boneless chicken breasts and ensure they are fully submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Breading
- 2
Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a separate large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, additional salt, additional black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This will create a flavorful breading for the chicken.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Dip each piece into the breading mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coat. Place the breaded chicken on a plate and let it sit for about 10 minutes to set the breading.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of breading into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
