Hey, I’m trying to make fried chicken. I MUST today, for the sake of my future confidence and the joy of my day TODAY. I want to use chicken breast, thighs are too fatty for me.

How? I’m looking up recipes but they all seem so disingenuous. I know that sounds stupid, but I thought maybe asking real people would give me a better chance.

Chicken breast, buttermilk. Those are the only ingredients I feel like I must use. Anyone have any advice on the fried chicken? I’ve got regular canola oil, olive oil, extra virgin, and I’m waiting to visit the grocery store. I was about to go but I just don’t feel confident. Please, anyone have a list of ingredients worth using together?

    Pro Tip: Before breading the chicken sprinkle a bit of the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a fork or slotted spoon to dip and sprinkle.

    This creates little nuggets of coating that will give your finished food a bit more crunch.

      Protip: sieve out the beads later and deep fry those too.
