Delicious Fried Chicken Breast

Better than fast food takeout, brining is the key to this tender juicy chicken, any leftovers can be stuffed in between a crusty bun topped with mayo, mustard and a leaf of lettuce, this also works well using bone-on chicken pieces but frying time will need to be adjusted --- plan ahead the chicken needs to soak in the buttermilk for 8-24 hours (24 hours is even better). Try to purchase large thick chicken breasts for this to make the slicing in half easier, use a sharp knife for slicing. I usually serve this with my recipe #149547 --- if you cannot find old bay seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt in place of regular salt --- you will *love* this fried chicken! :)

Steps

Soak the chicken breasts in the buttermilk and salt for 8-24 hours.

When ready to make the breasts , mix all coating ingredients together , and coat each chicken breast.

Place oil in a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet up to about 1 / 3 of the pan.

Heat to about 350f , then reduce heat a bit just before frying the breasts.

Cook / fry about 8 minutes per side.
