Ingredients
Scale
4 chicken thighs or breasts (bone-in for more flavor)
1 cup buttermilk (can substitute with milk and vinegar)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
2 slices of thick bread (Texas toast works best)
Optional: pickles, lettuce, or tomato for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk with salt, pepper, and spices. Add the chicken, making sure it's fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat approximately 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
Remove chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture and fry in batches for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, drain excess oil, leaving about 4 tablespoons. Add butter, and whisk in flour, cooking until golden brown. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until thickened.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Place a piece of fried chicken on one slice, spoon gravy over the top, add any optional toppings, and finish with the second slice of bread.
