Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups crushed pretzels
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the crushed pretzels and flour. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the pretzel mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the hot oil and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
