The Best Chicken Fried Chicken Recipe You’ll Ever Make at Home, packed with flavors that remind you of family gatherings and Sunday dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Step: Gently pound the chicken breasts until they’re an even thickness, about ½ inch.
- Step: In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Step: In another bowl, beat together the eggs and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
- Step: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat well in the flour mixture.
- Step: Pour vegetable oil into a skillet, filling it about ½ inch deep. Heat over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking.
- Step: Carefully add the chicken to the oil and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Step: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb any excess oil.
Notes
Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying — if it’s not sizzling, your chicken may turn out soggy instead of crispy.
