Oven Fried Buttermilk Chicken

Have you ever wonder why the skin of the chickens you fry don’t always stick on the chicken? This recipe procedure would help with that after you coat your chickens with the flour pop them into the refrigerator for few hours or overnight, the skin will stick to chicken and you can now enjoy your chickens with the skin on. However, if you don’t like the skin, peel off the skin but for my readers who enjoy their chickens with skin on this procedure works for that. You can bake, fry, or fry and bake (oven-fried).

  5. Remove the chicken and let the buttermilk drains a little bit, dredge chicken in the flour or better still, pour the flour in a plastic bag like a ziplock and add the chickens. Coat each chicken and place on a rack (over a baking sheet). Don't forget to shake off the excess. Repeat until you coat all the chicken.
