Ingredients:
- 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
- Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl, cover with buttermilk, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off.
- Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
