Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This mixture not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also helps it to stay incredibly moist during cooking. Once mixed, add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour, or ideally overnight, to let those flavors really meld together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
