  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.
