Ingredients
- 2-4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk*
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/2 ground black pepper to taste
- 2 qt vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons truffle honey
- 1 teaspoon white truffle oil optional - but will add extra flavor
Oven Roasted Asparagus:
- 1 bunch thin asparagus spears trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place plastic wrap over the chicken and gently pound both sides with a flat mallet.
- Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to a large plastic bag, and mix well to combine.
- Add buttermilk to a shallow plate.
- Dip chicken breasts well in buttermilk, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag, and shake to coat well.
- Place coated chicken on a plate or tray and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. Let the chicken sit until the flour is a paste-like consistency.
- Fill a large skillet about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil and heat the oil until very hot.
- Add the chicken breast to the skillet; if you are cooking a large batch, make sure the chicken pieces don't overlap. Brown the chicken on both sides for a few minutes, then reduce the heat and cover the skillet.
- Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat until the chicken breast is fully cooked but not crispy. Cooking time will be longer for other chicken parts.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat. Continue frying the chicken until it is crispy. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate, cookie sheet, or tray lined with paper towels. If you are not serving the chicken immediately, place it in a warm oven to keep it heated.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken if you have more left.
- Drizzle chicken with Honey Truffle and a bit of truffle oil. Serve with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Oven Roasted Asparagus:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the asparagus in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.
Notes
- If you want to create a super crunchy crust, I recommend double-dredging the chicken breasts. This means that after dipping them in the buttermilk and flour mixture, repeat this step. This will add an extra layer of breading, making the crust crispier. Another trick is to add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the flour mixture. It will make the breading stick better to the chicken, creating a thicker, crispier crust.
- To give this chicken even more flavor and tenderness, marinate it in buttermilk for 30 to 60 minutes before preparing it.
- Drain the chicken on a wire rack instead of setting it directly on paper towels for extra crispy chicken.
- Be sure the chicken is at room temperature before frying it.
- Keep an eye on the oil temperature. After the first batch of chicken, please wait for it to get back up to 350 degrees F before frying the next batch.
- Do not flip the chicken repeatedly, or the breading may fall off.
- Use the truffle oil as a finishing touch; never cook with it, as the heat will make the flavor undetectable.
