Buttermilk Fried Chicken!!!!

Ok.....we love good fried chicken but sometimes it can be bland and dry. So I decided to soak my boneless skinless chicken breasts in buttermilk at least 8 hours to overnight to get chicken moist.

2 cups buttermilk
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, oregano, thyme)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper

Soak chicken in buttermilk with garlic, herbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on chicken. In a large paper grocery bag, mix flour with seasonings. Meanwhile, heat oil in cast iron pan or fryer until 350 degrees. Place chicken pieces in bag with flour and shake, let sit 1 minute, then shake again. Add chicken to hot pan and fry on 1 side for 20 minutes, then turn to finish.

So crispy and juicy!!!! Dinner was quiet tonight except for forks on the plates!!!
