_Sips coffee_ Let me tell you about the most incredible breakfast fried chicken recipe that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school! Trust me, ladies (and gents), this isn’t your average morning meal – it’s a game-changer that’ll make your taste buds dance.
First things first, let’s gather our ingredients (because running to the store in your PJs isn’t cute):
– 4 chicken breasts, butterflied
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you’re feeling spicy like me!)
– 2 teaspoons black pepper
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 2 eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
Now, here’s the secret that my grandmother passed down to me (don’t tell her I’m sharing this!): The night before, marinate your chicken in buttermilk with a pinch of salt and pepper. This step is non-negotiable, honey! It makes the chicken so tender it’ll melt in your mouth.

Let’s get cooking:
1. Mix your flour and seasonings in a bowl. Don’t be stingy with those spices – we’re not making bland chicken here!
1. Remove chicken from buttermilk (save those PJs from splashes!) and let excess drip off.
1. Set up your dredging station: seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and another bowl of seasoned flour.
1. Dip each piece in flour, then egg, then flour again. This is what I call the “triple threat” technique!
1. Heat oil in a large skillet to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a tiny bit of flour – if it sizzles, you’re good to go!)
1. Fry each piece for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Pro tip: Place finished pieces on a wire rack, not paper towels. Nobody likes soggy chicken – that’s a breakfast crime!
Serve this bad boy with waffles, maple syrup, and if you’re feeling fancy, add some fresh berries on the side. Your Instagram followers won’t know what hit them! 📸
