Texas Roadhouse Chicken Fried Chicken Recipe

Start by pounding the chicken breasts until they’re about 1/4 inch thick, which helps them cook evenly and stay succulent.
The secret lies in the buttermilk marinade—it tenderizes the meat and infuses a subtle flavor.
After marinating, dip the chicken in a seasoned flour mixture for that perfect crunch.
A trick I’ve learned is to let the coated chicken sit on a wire rack before frying, as this helps the breading adhere better.
