Directions:
Wash chicken breasts, remove skin and visible fat, leaving the bone. Pat dry with paper towel.
Pour buttermilk in shallow bowl.
In second bowl, mix flour, pepper and salt.
Dip each breast in the buttermilk, making sure it is completely coated.
Dredge the chicken in the bowl of flour; turning to thoroughly coat both sides.
Shake each piece to remove loose flour.
Put a deep skillet on medium-high heat and add canola oil. Heat until the oil shimmers.
Place chicken in the hot oil, flesh side down.
Turn heat down to medium and let chicken fry until just golden brown and crispy.
Turn once and let second side fry to golden. Be careful when turning not to break the buttermilk crust.
Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook 25 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the chicken doesn't burn.
Remove lid and turn pieces over once more.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook a few minutes longer to re-crisp the crust.
