Equipment
- Deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot
- Kitchen thermometer
- Paper towels (for draining)
- Tongs
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Ensure your chicken fillets are thin by pounding them slightly. This ensures even cooking.
- Use black pepper and salt to season the chicken.
Create the Coating
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Combine the eggs and buttermilk in a different bowl.
Dredge and Dip
- Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture, then the buttermilk mixture, and then back in the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
Fry to Perfection
- Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) in your fryer or pot.
- Fry each piece for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Notes
- After you fry the chicken, give it a few minutes to rest. This helps the juices settle back into the meat, keeping it moist inside and crispy on the outside.
- Keep your oil clean to avoid a burnt taste.
