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

Dredge the Chicken
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the dredged chicken breasts, frying for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
