Oh honey, let me tell you about this breakfast fried chicken recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance and have your family thinking you’ve been secretly training with professional chefs! Trust me, once you try this, regular breakfast will never be the same.
Listen up, because this isn’t your ordinary fried chicken recipe. We’re talking about crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken that’s specifically crafted for breakfast – yes, breakfast! And no, I won’t judge you for craving fried chicken at 8 AM. We’re all friends here!
What You’ll Need:
– 8 chicken tenders (because who doesn’t love tenders?)
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (add more if you’re feeling spicy!)
– 2 large eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
Now, here’s where the magic happens (and trust me, I’ve perfected this through countless Sunday morning experiments):
1. First things first, marinate those chicken tenders in buttermilk overnight. Yes, that means planning ahead, darling! This step is non-negotiable if you want that tender, juicy goodness.
1. The next morning, mix your flour with all those gorgeous seasonings in a shallow dish. In another bowl, whisk those eggs with a splash of water.
1. Remove the chicken from buttermilk (let the excess drip off), dredge in the seasoned flour, dip in egg wash, then back in flour again. This double-coating is crucial for that extra crunch!

1. Heat your oil to 350°F in a large skillet. Don’t crowd the pan, sweetie – these babies need their space to get golden and gorgeous.
1. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Place on a wire rack to keep them crispy.
Pro tip: Serve these bad boys with honey butter and hot sauce. If you’re feeling extra fancy, throw some fresh-made waffles into the mix for the ultimate chicken and waffles experience!
Y’all, this isn’t just breakfast – it’s a whole mood! It’s perfect for those weekend brunches when you want to impress, or when you need something spectacular to cure last night’s… adventures (wink wink).
