Ingredients
Bloom Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons horseradish or a little less
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
Fried Chicken
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup water
- 1 pound chicken breast pounded to ½ inch thick
Instructions
- Prepare the bloom sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Place the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper into a pie plate. Stir to combine.
- Place the buttermilk into another pie plate, add the water, and stir to combine.
- Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap, and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it is ½ inch thick. If the chicken breast is greater than 1 inch thick, slice it in half horizontally.
- Place a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet.
- Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
- Dip the chicken into the buttermilk and shake off the excess.
- Dip the chicken into the seasoned flour for a second time.
- Place the breaded chicken onto the wire rack and repeat for the remaining pieces of chicken. The chicken should rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.
- Pour 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil into a skillet. Heat the oil to 350°F.
- Place 1 or 2 pieces of chicken into the oil and fry until done, about 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over while frying to make sure both sides of the chicken are golden brown. Then remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a wire rack.
- To serve, place the fried chicken on a plate and drizzle some of the bloom sauce on top.
