Nelson's Chicken Recipe (Copycat)
This recipe is a copycat of the original chicken recipe at the restaurant, so it should taste very similar. The key to getting the same flavor is to marinate the Chicken in buttermilk overnight, which gives it a juicy and flavorful taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast (cut into tenders)
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Place chicken tenders in a large bowl or resealable bag.
- Pour in buttermilk, seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Marinate in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, remove the Chicken from the buttermilk and discard the marinade.
- Place chicken tenders on a plate lined with paper towels and pat dry.
- Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.
- Dredge Chicken in the flour mixture until coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add Chicken to the hot oil, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
- Enjoy!
