For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken in the egg mixture and seasoned flour. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference. Serve with mashed potatoes, cornbread, or biscuits for a complete Southern meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, onion powder, parsley, tarragon, sage, paprika, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Place chicken breast pieces in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to 2 days. (Prep: 5 minutes, Marinate: 8-48 hours)
02
StepDrain the chicken pieces in a colander to remove excess buttermilk. (Prep: 5 minutes)
03
StepIn a heavy, resealable plastic bag, mix together 2 cups all-purpose flour, garlic salt, onion salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. (Prep: 5 minutes)
04
StepIn a bowl, whisk eggs with 2 tablespoons milk; season with salt and black pepper. (Prep: 3 minutes)
05
StepHeat grapeseed oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a pinch of flour dropped into the oil sizzles, indicating it's ready for frying. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour into a shallow bowl. (Prep: 5 minutes)
06
StepPress chicken pieces into unseasoned flour, dip into the egg mixture, and then place into the plastic bag of seasoned flour. Close the bag and shake to coat the chicken evenly. (Prep: 10 minutes)
07
StepCarefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes on the first side and 6 to 8 minutes on the second side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (Cook: 14-20 minutes)
08
StepRemove the fried chicken and drain on a rack to remove excess oil. (Prep: 2 minutes)
09
StepDrain the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1/4 cup of oil. Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in quick-mixing flour and milk until combined. Bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes. (Cook: 8 minutes)
10
StepSeason the gravy with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve the creamy white gravy over the crispy fried chicken. Enjoy! (Prep: 2 minutes)
