Handy Tips
- For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and then in the flour mixture before frying.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to prevent it from becoming greasy.
Ingredient Swaps
- Chicken: Use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Buttermilk: Substitute with milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
- Flour: Whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier option.
