Handy Tips
- For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and flour before frying.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying for juicier results.
Ingredient Swaps
- Chicken Thighs: You can use chicken breasts if you prefer a leaner option.
- Buttermilk: Substitute with a mixture of milk and vinegar (1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar).
- Swiss Cheese: Cheddar cheese can be used for a different flavor.
