Preparation

Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.
In a large bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F.
Dredge each marinated chicken breast in the flour mixture and shake off excess flour.
Fry the chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
