Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they're fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Dredge the Chicken
After marinating, remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and let excess drip off. In a separate bowl, add the flour and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and fry for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
