Categories     Chicken     Fry     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb)
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 teaspoon bottled hot sauce plus additional for serving
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (from 6 slices firm white sandwich bread)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Gently pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap with a flat meat pounder or a rolling pin until 1/3 inch thick.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish, then add chicken, turning to coat, and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Stir together bread crumbs, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in another shallow dish. Remove chicken from buttermilk 1 piece at a time, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere. Transfer chicken as coated to a sheet of wax paper.
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry chicken 2 pieces at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken with tongs to paper towels to drain and serve with hot sauce on the side.

I'm a huge fan of spicy food and this chicken did not disappoint. It had just the right amount of heat.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the breading was on point. I'll try again with some adjustments.

Holy moly! This is some next-level fried chicken. Crispy, juicy, and flavorful all at the same time. I'm a fan.

This fried chicken was so good! The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I'll definitely be making this again.
