Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Pour the buttermilk into a separate shallow bowl.
3. Dip the chicken pieces into the buttermilk, then coat them in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.
4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F.
5. Working in batches, fry the coated chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain the fried chicken on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, let the coated pieces rest for 10-15 minutes before frying. You can also bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
