I love fried food but not the calories or the greasy feeling in my mouth it leaves. This recipe has some steps but is well worth it. My husband doesn't even want regular fried chicken anymore. This chicken is a once a week dish for us and now, hopefully for your family too. Buttermilk isn't always in the house so I make my own. Just take milk and 1-2 T vinegar mix together, let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. I will take the skin off mine, and also add whole wheat flour to make this healthier. Gluten free no problem Cup 4 Cup works, great! A great healthy alternative to fried.
