1Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Buttermilk Fried Chicken!
