Delicious Fried Chicken Breast image

Better than fast food takeout, brining is the key to this tender juicy chicken, any leftovers can be stuffed in between a crusty bun topped with mayo, mustard and a leaf of lettuce, this also works well using bone-on chicken pieces but frying time will need to be adjusted --- plan ahead the chicken needs to soak in the buttermilk for 8-24 hours (24 hours is even better). Try to purchase large thick chicken breasts for this to make the slicing in half easier, use a sharp knife for slicing. I usually serve this with my recipe #149547 --- if you cannot find Old Bay seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt in place of regular salt --- you will *love* this fried chicken! :)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half

1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 -3 teaspoons garlic powder (garlic lovers use 3 teaspoons)

3 teaspoons salt (you can reduce to 2 teaspoons if desired)

Steps:

  • Soak the chicken breasts in the buttermilk and salt for 8-24 hours.

  • Heat to about 350°F, then reduce heat a bit just before frying the breasts.
