DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN BREAST
Better than fast food takeout, brining is the key to this tender juicy chicken, any leftovers can be stuffed in between a crusty bun topped with mayo, mustard and a leaf of lettuce, this also works well using bone-on chicken pieces but frying time will need to be adjusted --- plan ahead the chicken needs to soak in the buttermilk for 8-24 hours (24 hours is even better). Try to purchase large thick chicken breasts for this to make the slicing in half easier, use a sharp knife for slicing. I usually serve this with my recipe #149547 --- if you cannot find Old Bay seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt in place of regular salt --- you will *love* this fried chicken! :)

Steps:
- In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
- In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
- Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the "dough" into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
- Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Tips:
- To ensure crispy chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch in the coating. The cornstarch helps create a golden-brown crust.
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the flour mixture.
- Use buttermilk to marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes. Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the coating adhere.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F (175°C - 190°C). If the oil is too hot, the chicken will burn; if it is too cold, the chicken will be greasy.
- Fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
