1
In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are covered with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for more tender and flavorful chicken.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pan on the stove (about 4 cups) to 325°F (163°C).
4
Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade and dredge it in the flour mixture, then dip it back into the remaining 1 cup of buttermilk and finally back into the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure the flour sticks to the chicken well.
5
Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, frying each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
6
To make the gravy, in a large pan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil from frying on medium-high. Stir in the flour until absorbed and cook for about 1 minute.
7
Slowly add in the whole milk, whisking constantly to blend. Continue whisking and cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8
Serve the crispy chicken with a generous portion of gravy poured over it.
