Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for gravy)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (for gravy)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
- In one shallow dish, whisk together buttermilk and egg. In another dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip in the buttermilk mixture, and coat again with the flour mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to adhere well.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the crispy chicken hot with the creamy white gravy.
