Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tbsp hot sauce

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix buttermilk with salt and pepper. Submerge chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is preferred).
- Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the Chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk and shake off excess. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough oil to fill about 1 inch deep. Heat until shimmering.
- Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully add chicken pieces to hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
