Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (for flour mixture)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, paprika, and ground cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken breast fillets to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor penetration.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and additional paprika.

Step 4

Remove chicken fillets from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Coat each fillet thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure a thick, even coating.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Carefully place chicken fillets in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken fillets from the oil and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and retain crispiness.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your low sodium crispy fried chicken fillets with your favorite side dishes!
