“Marinated overnight in the buttermilk & just one egg with some franks hot sauce. Worked really well for me, someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience frying chicken. The breading stayed on & was crispy! Thank you! Loved it & will definitely make” — a cook, 5.0★
“We love this recipe but it comes out a little too salty for our taste. I either cut the salt in half or skip the salt in the breading mix. Other than that, delicious!” — a cook, 4.0★
