Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  2. In another bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Coat each marinated chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture.
