Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix regular milk with vinegar or lemon juice to create a substitute.
Let the chicken rest before frying to ensure better crust adhesion.
Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
You can also experiment with herbs or spices in the flour mixture for different flavor profiles! Enjoy your chicken fried chicken with creamy gravies and colorful sides for a complete meal.
