Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Clear your workspace and preheat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).
- Mix buttermilk with salt and pepper in a bowl. Submerge chicken breasts and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Set up a breading station: one bowl of seasoned flour and another with beaten eggs.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk; let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into eggs, then back into flour, pressing to adhere well.
- Fry each piece in hot oil for about 6–8 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
- Drizzle with soy sauce and honey mixture for added flavor.
