Deep Fried Chicken Breasts Recipe

  • Pat the chicken breast pieces dry with a paper towel. 
  • In a small bowl, add the flour, half of the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix together till well combined. 
  • In a separate bowl, add the buttermilk and the remaining half of the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt.
  • Dip each chicken breast in the buttermilk mix, then dip in the flour mix to get all the parts dredged in flour.
  • Place a chip pan or deep pot on a stove on medium heat. Add vegetable oil (enough to immerse the chicken) into the pot and heat.
    When it's heated to about 350F/175C, gently put the chicken breast pieces inside. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked inside.

  • Take out the fried chicken from the oil and put it on a plate.
    Rest it for 5 minutes before serving.
