Story behind the recipe:
Chef was on a mission. Buttermilk fried chicken! For months now he had been obsessed with fried chicken and had it almost every day, but he had a need to make it at home and of course it needed to be allergy friendly for ya'll!
This chicken is just the fried chicken you've been looking for and it's not difficult to make either. Absolutely addicting and it's a great comfort food to make for the whole family or a get together with friends. So crisp, flavorful, and satisfies that junk food craving without all the unhealthy downers (except the oil, but that's not really that bad if you choose the right oil).
