Ingredients (serves 4):

For the chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying

For the biscuits:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

Cooking Tips:

- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the oil temperature and prevent the chicken from burning.
- For flaky biscuits, handle the dough as little as possible and use cold butter.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
8. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Serve the fried chicken on top of the biscuits and enjoy!
