Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • oil for frying
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instruction

  • Pour 3 to 4 inches of oil into a deep fryer or large pot and heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare seasoned flour by combining the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and water.
  • If your chicken breasts are not fairly uniform in size, place them between two pieces of wax paper and gently pound them out with a meat pounder until they are more uniform in size. This will help with even cooking times.
  • Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then dredge them in the seasoned flour.
  • Dip floured chicken in buttermilk.
  • Dredge the chicken again in the seasoned flour.
  • Deep-fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until done, about 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over while frying to make sure both sides of the chicken are golden brown.
  • When the chicken is done, remove it from the oil and drain on a wire rack.
