Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marinating-the-chicken\">Marinating the Chicken<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Marinate: <\/strong>Add the chicken cutlets to a large freezer bag, then add in the buttermilk, salt and pepper and shake to mix well and coat the chicken evenly. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for an hour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat Oil: <\/strong>Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, enough to cover half a filet at a time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breading and Frying<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Dry Ingredients: <\/strong>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk Eggs: <\/strong>In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coat: <\/strong>One at a time, take the chicken cutlets from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Then place the cutlet into the breading mixture and dredge it evenly and generously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repeat: <\/strong>Take the breaded cutlet and dredge it in the egg, then back to the flour mixture for a final coating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add to Oil: <\/strong>Carefully place the breaded cutlet into the hot oil, there should be enough oil so half the cutlet is submerged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry: <\/strong>Fry the cutlet for about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and then place on a paper towel lined plate while you work with the rest of the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repeat: <\/strong>Repeat these steps with the remaining cutlets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-the-gravy\">Making the Gravy<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Roux: <\/strong>In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Then whisk in the flour to create a roux.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Broth and Seasonings: <\/strong>Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Whisk the gravy and continue cooking until the desired consistency is reached.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve: <\/strong>Serve the country fried chicken with your favorite sides and smothered in the gravy!
