  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
• For the Cheesy Noodles:
  • 200 grams egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Garnish:
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
• Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Flatten the chicken breasts slightly for even cooking.
   • Mix the buttermilk and hot sauce (if using) in a bowl, then soak the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least an hour in the fridge.

   • Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
   • Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, dredge in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Fry the chicken until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Assemble the Dish:
   • Slice the fried chicken.
   • Place a portion of cheesy noodles on each plate, top with sliced fried chicken.
