Hey there, breakfast lovers! 🌅 Let me tell you about my absolute favorite way to start the day – a recipe that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance! Today, I’m spilling the tea on my irresistible breakfast fried chicken that’s literally to die for.
Listen, I know what you’re thinking – chicken for breakfast? Trust me, honey, once you try this recipe, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been doing this your whole life! This isn’t your regular ol’ fried chicken; it’s got that perfect crispy coating with a hint of breakfast-y flavors that’ll make your morning extra special.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 6 chicken tenders (because who doesn’t love tender, juicy pieces?)
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup (the secret ingredient! 😉)
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 2 teaspoons salt
– A pinch of cayenne (or more if you’re feeling spicy like me!)
– Vegetable oil for frying
Now, let’s get cooking, girlfriend!
1. First things first, marinate those chicken tenders in buttermilk and a splash of maple syrup overnight. This is where the magic happens – don’t skip this step! The buttermilk tenderizes the meat while the maple adds that breakfast sweetness we’re looking for.
1. In a large bowl, mix your flour with all those beautiful seasonings. Don’t be shy with the spices – we’re not making bland chicken here!

1. Take each tender from the buttermilk (let the excess drip off) and dredge it in your seasoned flour mixture. Double-dip if you’re feeling extra! More crunch = more fun!
1. Heat your oil to 350°F in a deep skillet. Don’t have a thermometer? Drop a pinch of flour in – if it sizzles and floats, you’re good to go!
1. Fry those babies for about 4-5 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Pro tip: Place them on a wire rack after frying, not paper towels. Nobody likes soggy chicken, am I right?
Serve these bad boys with maple syrup, hot sauce, or both – I won’t judge! Add some fluffy waffles on the side if you’re feeling fancy, and boom! You’ve got yourself a breakfast that’ll make your family worship the ground you walk on!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my morning gatherings. It’s especially perfect for those lazy weekend brunches when you want to impress but don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.
