Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, salt and hot sauce.
Step 2
Transfer the chicken breasts to the buttermilk marinade and cover. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Step 3
Add at least 2 inches of oil to a large pot and heat to 350 degrees F.
Step 4
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, white pepper, celery salt, granulated garlic and paprika powder.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breast from the buttermilk marinade allowing the excess to drip off before transferring to the seasoned flour.
Step 6
Coat each chicken breast completely with the flour then transfer to the hot oil and deep fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping the chicken throughout the process. Don't over crowd the pan. The fried chicken is ready once a kitchen thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads at least 165 degrees F.
Step 7
Transfer the chicken to a plate or wire rack and blot with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite side dish or make a chicken sandwich and enjoy.
