I have since used this recipe for larger dinner parties and even potluck dinners. All that I do is cut the chicken up into smaller portions, cook them following these directions, and then I put them on warm in a slow cooker. They will stay just fine in there for several hours. It makes the perfect entree and it gives people a little different take on traditional boneless, skinless, chicken breast. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:
“The chicken had wonderful flavor was very moist and absolutely perfect served on greens. This is a keeper.”
There’s nothing worse than a dry chicken breast. You won’t have to worry about that with this recipe!
Ingredients
3 cups cold water
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon McCormick’s black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
cayenne pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Mix cold water, kosher salt, and honey in a large bowl; stir until salt dissolves. Add chicken breasts, and weigh them down with a plate to keep them completely submerged.
Cover entire bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove bowl from refrigerator; drain and dry chicken. Pour buttermilk over chicken in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Combine flour, black pepper, garlic salt, onion salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
Coat each chicken breast in flour mixture until well covered on all sides; place flour-coated chicken breasts on a cooling rack to dry for 15 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Transfer chicken to a cooling rack; allow to cool for 5 minutes.
