Buttermilk Fried Chicken Recipe

Spending time at KFC hogging on the crispy chicken is one of our favourite hobbies. The perfectly fried chicken checks off all the right items on our list of how chicken dishes should be prepared. Although it tastes heavenly, eating out at KFC every day doesn’t really suit the health quotient.

So, we decided to replicate the KFC chicken in our kitchen with some added ingredients to kick it up a notch. This buttermilk marinated chicken is crunchy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. The best of both worlds.
