Scale
- 6 to 8 pieces thin-sliced chicken breasts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
- 1/4 cup reserved oil from frying the chicken

Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In one bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce, if using.
- Dip each chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour.
- Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Pour off all but 1/4 cup of oil from the skillet and whisk in 1/3 cup flour.

Notes
For added flavor, consider spicing the flour with cayenne pepper or herbs. Ensure oil is hot before frying for maximum crispiness.
