Crispy, tender chicken with a rich pan gravy, making it the ultimate comfort food for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup flour for gravy
  • Seasonings to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the dredge: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350–375°F.
  4. Dredge the chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk and press it into the seasoned flour.
  5. Fry the chicken: Carefully lay breasts in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes per side. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Make the gravy: Pour off excess oil, leaving 2 tbsp drippings. Whisk in flour to create a roux, then gradually add broth and milk, simmer until thickened.
  7. Serve: Spoon the gravy over the fried chicken and plate with sides. Enjoy while hot.

Notes

For best results, use a thermometer for oil and chicken. To avoid lumps in gravy, add liquid gradually. Consider double dredging for extra crispiness.
