Instructions
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix buttermilk and eggs together until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it fully.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once done, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces and sides.
Notes
For extra tenderness, let the chicken marinate in the buttermilk for a couple of hours before frying. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
