Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
Equipment Needed
– A large mixing bowl
– A whisk
– A skillet or frying pan
– A meat thermometer
– Tongs or a slotted spoon
– A plate lined with paper towels for draining
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start off by marinating the chicken. In a large mixing bowl, I pour in the buttermilk and add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. I whisk it all together until it’s well combined. Then, I drop the chicken breasts into the buttermilk mixture, making sure each piece is fully submerged. I let them sit for at least 30 minutes—this is when the magic happens, and the chicken begins to soak up all that incredible flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
