Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least one hour or overnight.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat each piece in the seasoned flour.
  4. Pour about two inches of cooking oil into a deep skillet and heat it to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for 6-7 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, let coated chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before frying. Ensure oil is at the right temperature for crispiness.
