1-2 tsp crushed red pepper, add more or less to your liking

1 tsp apple vinegar (skip if you don't want the tang)

# Instructions:
01 -
Let chicken sit in buttermilk for half an hour minimum (leaving it overnight works even better) to make it juicy and tasty.
02 -
Combine flour with paprika, powdered garlic, salt and pepper in a dish. Take chicken out of milk, let extra liquid drip away, then roll in flour mix until it's completely covered.
03 -
Warm up oil in a big pan on medium-high. Cook chicken till it turns golden and isn't pink inside, roughly 4-5 minutes on each side. Put on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
