Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
- Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Pizza Ranch Fried
