Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts, butterflied
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Place butterflied chicken breasts into a ziplock freezer bag or large glass baking dish. Pour over buttermilk and maple syrup. Seal and place in refrigerator to marinate for 24 hours.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven to 350°F. While oil preheats, mix together the flour salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic & onion powder, and sugar in a large bowl. Prepare the chicken by removing from buttermilk marinade and dipping each piece into beaten egg and then into flour mixture. Place dredged chicken on a wire rack and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. If flour coating looks wet, dip it in the flour mixture again. When the oil is ready gently submerge 2-3 piece of chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the pieces over halfway. Remove once chicken is a deep golden brown. Serve immediately.
