Instructions

Pound the Chicken:
Gently pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Prepare the Dipping Station:
In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and back into the flour. Ensure the chicken is well-coated for extra crispiness.
Fry the Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 200°F oven.
Make the Gravy:
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
Serve the crispy fried chicken topped with creamy gravy. Enjoy!

Notes

For Extra Crispy Chicken: Double dip the chicken in the flour and buttermilk mixtures for a thicker crust.
Spicy Kick: Add more cayenne pepper or serve with hot sauce for an extra kick.
Healthier Option: You can bake the chicken instead of frying it to reduce the calories.
