Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness (about 1 inch).
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.
Dip the floured chicken back into the buttermilk mixture, then coat it with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the chicken pieces completely.
Fry the chicken in batches for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow excess oil to drain. Keep warm in a low oven if needed while frying the remaining chicken.
Serve the Super Crunch Chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides!
