Hey there, foodies! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite breakfast recipe thatโll make your taste buds dance and your family beg for more. Today, Iโm sharing my secret recipe for the most incredible breakfast fried chicken thatโll have you ditching those boring cereals forever!
Listen, honey, I know what youโre thinking โ fried chicken for breakfast? Trust me, once you try this recipe, youโll wonder why you havenโt been doing this your whole life! This crispy, juicy goodness paired with some fluffy waffles or biscuits is literally what breakfast dreams are made of.
So, letโs get cooking! Hereโs what youโll need:
Ingredients:
โ 8 chicken thighs (because dark meat is where itโs at!)
โ 2 cups buttermilk
โ 2 eggs
โ 2 cups all-purpose flour
โ 1 tablespoon paprika
โ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
โ 1 teaspoon onion powder
โ 1 tablespoon black pepper
โ 2 teaspoons salt
โ A pinch of cayenne (or more if youโre feeling spicy!)
โ Oil for frying
Now, hereโs the secret to making this chicken absolutely divine (and yes, girl, Iโm spilling all the tea!):
1. The night before, marinate your chicken in buttermilk with a dash of hot sauce. This is non-negotiable! It makes the meat super tender and juicy.
1. The next morning, drain the buttermilk and pat the chicken dry. Trust me, wet chicken = soggy coating, and nobody wants that drama!
1. Mix your flour and seasonings in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk those eggs with a splash of water.
1. Hereโs where the magic happens โ double dip that chicken! First in the flour mixture, then egg wash, then back in the flour. This creates that amazing crispy coating thatโll have everyone asking for your recipe.

1. Heat your oil to 350ยฐF (and yes, use a thermometer โ weโre not playing games here!).
1. Fry those babies for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Donโt crowd the pan โ these chickies need their personal space!
Pro tip: Keep your fried pieces warm in a 200ยฐF oven while you finish cooking the rest.
Serve this up with some honey butter, hot sauce, or maple syrup (donโt knock it till you try it!), and watch your familyโs jaws drop!
