Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 240 ml Buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 Eggs
• None enough to submerge Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Flatten the chicken breasts: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to flatten to about half-inch thickness.

Step 2

Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight for best results.

Step 3

Prepare the dredging mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Prepare the egg mixture: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large heavy bottomed pan or deep fryer, at least an inch deep, and heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Dredge the chicken: Remove a chicken breast from the buttermilk mixture, drench it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs and then back into the flour mixture, ensuring a good coat.

Step 7

Fry the chicken: Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Drain the chicken: Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. This helps keep it crispy.

Step 9

Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving hot with your favorite side dishes.
