Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 7 (1 3/4 to 2 pounds) boneless skinless chicken breast (pounded thin, pound to at least half their size)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • Oil for frying
  • FOR BREADING
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (do not omit)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning (rubbed)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large bowl whisk the egg with buttermilk until well combined.

  • Step 2: Add in the chicken breasts and turn to coat in the buttermilk; refrigerate for at least 5 hours (turning the chicken occasionally).

  • Step 3: In a shallow bowl combine all breading mixture together until well combined (I recommend to have all the chicken breaded and placed on a plate before frying).

  • Step 4: Place the chicken in a colander and allow to drain off excess buttermilk mixture.

  • Step 5: Dredge each breast into the flour mixture pressing down with hands to firmly adhere the breading to the chicken; place the breaded chicken on a plate or a rack.

  • Step 6: Allow the chicken to sit for 15 minutes then lightly coat again in the flour mixture.

  • Step 7: Heat oil in a skillet (use enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet). Fry each breast until golden brown and cooked through.
