Hey there, breakfast lovers! 🌞 Let me spill the tea on my absolute favorite breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance and your family beg for more. Trust me, this isn’t your ordinary breakfast fried chicken – it’s a game-changer that’ll have you ditching those boring cereals forever!
You know what’s better than regular fried chicken? Breakfast fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection with a secret blend that’ll make your neighbors jealous. I’ve perfected this recipe after countless Sunday morning experiments (and yes, my family was more than happy to be my taste-testers! 😉).
Ingredients (serves 4):
– 8 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts, cut in half
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (honey, add more if you’re feeling spicy!)
– 2 teaspoons black pepper
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 2 eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
Girl, let me walk you through this magical process:
1. First things first, marinate that chicken in buttermilk overnight. This is non-negotiable! It’s the secret to that tender, juicy goodness we’re after.
1. The next morning, mix your flour with all those yummy seasonings in a shallow dish. In another bowl, whisk those eggs like they owe you money!
1. Take each piece of chicken from the buttermilk (let the excess drip off), dredge in the seasoned flour, dip in egg, then back in flour again. This double-coating is what gives you that extra crispy crust that’ll make your Instagram followers drool!
1. Heat your oil to 350°F in a deep skillet. Don’t have a thermometer? Drop a tiny bit of flour in – if it sizzles and floats, you’re good to go!

1. Fry those babies for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the pan – we’re not running a chicken party in there!
1. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite sides. I personally love mine with honey butter biscuits and some spicy maple syrup (because why not?).
Pro tip: Want to make this even more breakfast-y? Serve it on top of fluffy waffles with a drizzle of hot honey. Trust me, it’s a whole vibe!
