Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your breading mixture.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breading mixture, pressing it firmly to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
