To start, you'll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Make sure they're at room temperature to help them cook evenly. 

Then, it's time to marinate the chicken. Create a flavorful marinade by combining buttermilk, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they're fully coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for enhanced flavor and tenderness.

Next, prepare the breading mixture. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour. 

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and gently shake off any excess liquid. One at a time, coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

Now it's time to fry the chicken! Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken breasts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. To ensure the chicken is cooked properly, use a meat thermometer to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving, as this will help retain the juiciness.

Now, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, you're ready to indulge in the juiciest fried chicken breast you've ever tasted! Pair it with your favorite sauces, sides, or enjoy it on its own. Each bite will be a delight!
