Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Flatten chicken breasts using a mallet to even thickness.
  • In a bowl, whisk buttermilk and eggs. In another bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip chicken into the buttermilk mixture, then coat with seasoned flour. Repeat for double coating.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
