Chicken Fritters

Prepare Chicken
Cut chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Marinate
Pour buttermilk over the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare Breading
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Heat Oil
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Bread Chicken
Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s well coated.
