Instructions
Creating Mississippi Mud Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and adds flavor.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dredge the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
6. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the chicken broth, barbecue sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the fried chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once the chicken is well-coated and heated through, remove from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
