Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 4 large buttermilk biscuits
• Butter for spreading

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with the chicken breasts. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2. In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
5. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. While the chicken is frying, bake the buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe.
7. To assemble, slice the biscuits in half, spread with butter, and place a piece of fried chicken inside each biscuit. Serve warm.
