Chicken Breading

• 1 c Flour

• 1 c McCormicks Chicken Flour

• 1 c Tempura Flour

• Garlic Salt to taste 

• Onion Powder to taste 

• 2 cups Buttermilk

Remove the chicken from the brine.  Pat dry.  Place on a sheet pan with a baking rack.  Bake in a 300 degree oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked, but still juicy.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.  Marinate in buttermilk (enough to submerge the chicken, for 2-4 hours).  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge through the Chicken Breading mixture.

Carefully place in a pot of 350 degree oil and fry until golden brown.

Remove and enjoy!
