Make this Southern Style Fried Chicken using chicken breasts and staple ingredients in no time and serve with mashed potatoes and gravy for a filling, old-fashioned, comfort meal that your entire family will love!

Ingredients

1 ½ c. vegetable oil

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Buttermilk Marinade:

2 large eggs, whisked

2 c. buttermilk

3 tsp salt

Breading:

½ c. breadcrumbs, plain or Italian

1 ½ c. all-purpose flour

½ tsp cayenne pepper

¾ tsp paprika

2 ½ tsp seasoned salt

1 ½ tsp black pepper

How to make Country Fried Chicken

Step 1: With saran wrap, cover each chicken breast. Pound them using a meat tenderizer to about half-inch thickness, then pat each chicken dry.

Step 2: Mix the whisked eggs, salt, and buttermilk until well blended. Add the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Ready the mashed potatoes once the chicken is nearly done marinating. Just keep the mashed warm while you fry the chicken.

Step 4: While the chicken is frying, whisk the chicken gravy ingredients in a small skillet. Set aside for now. When almost done frying, bring the gravy to a boil (stir in the slurry to thicken the gravy).

To cook the chicken:

Step 5: To the breading mix, place the marinated chicken, flipping it a few times to make sure to coat all the nooks and crannies. Do this right before frying each piece.

Step 6: To a skillet, add enough oil to cover the chicken in half. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. If available, use a cast-iron skillet. Very carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Flip the chicken using a thin spatula once the outside edges start to brown.

Step 7: To a wire cooling rack, transfer the cooked chicken and let the excess grease drip.

Step 8: Serve the chicken breasts with the mashed potatoes and gravy. Enjoy!
