Description
A delightful twist on classic fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, served with homemade gravy.
Ingredients
- 6-8 thin sliced chicken breasts
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbs hot sauce
- Oil for frying
- 1/4 cup reserved oil from frying
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan on the stove (a few inches deep) to 325°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and back into the flour. Press the flour onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
- Place the chicken in the pan or deep fryer and fry on each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with all chicken.
- To make your gravy, in a large pan, add 1/4 inch of oil from cooking and heat on medium-high. Stir in flour until absorbed and cook for about 1 minute.
- Slowly add in milk, whisking to blend, and heat until thickened. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the gravy over individual pieces of chicken before serving.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy chicken. This dish can also be made healthier by baking or air-frying instead of frying.
