Herb Seasoned Fried Chicken Breast

In this post I am sharing how to make Herb Seasoned Fried Chicken Breast.
 
I consider frying boneless chicken breast to be “easy fried chicken”. It is a delicious main course or can be used to make a delicious fried chicken sandwich.
 
Honestly, I make this easy fried chicken more often than bone in fried chicken. It doesn’t take as long to prepare.
 
Regardless of the type of fried chicken you’re making, the most important thing to get right is the seasoning. Properly seasoning your flour breading mixture is the key to delicious Southern style fried chicken

Herb Seasoned Fried Chicken Breast

Ingredients

  • 4-6 Pcs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 1/2 c All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
  • 1/8 tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 3-4 dashes Hot Sauce (like Texas Pete)
  • 1 c Buttermilk
  • Cooking Oil – enough for frying (about 1/2 ” in a large skillet)

Combine hot sauce and buttermilk and add chicken to marinate for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl combine flour and seasonings and herbs together.

Heat the cooking oil over medium until heated.

Take each chicken breasts from the buttermilk marinade and dredge in the flour mixture and add to the skillet.

Fry on each side turning every 3 minutes until cooked, cooking time is 12-15 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.

Transfer cooked chicken from skillet to a paper towel lined plate to remove excess cooking oil before serving.

Best Chicken Cutlet Recipe Ever

What do you like with your fried chicken? We love rice and gravy or mashed potatoes. We always have country green beans with fried chicken. 

If we have company for supper then there is sure to be biscuits or cornbread too.
