Paula Deen Fried Chicken Buttermilk. When you are ready to cook the chicken preheat the oven to 425 F. In a medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk chives mustard and hot sauce.
Let chicken stand at room temperature for 40 minutes. Dredge the chicken in the buttermilk followed by the flour. Paula Dean definitely knows how to fry chicken.
Add half of the chicken breasts to the hot oil and cook until both sides are browned about 3 minutes per side and then transfer to the baking sheet.
In a shallow dish combine flour garlic salt red pepper onion powder and 12 tsp seasoned salt. Once youve separated your chicken fill your pot with the peanut oil but no more than half full. Sprinkle with the chopped green onions. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
