Recipe FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, you can use chicken breasts instead, but keep in mind that they may take longer to cook and may not be as juicy as thighs.

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

Yes, you can use regular milk, but the chicken may not be as tender or flavorful.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken up to the point of coating it in cornmeal and refrigerate it until ready to cook.

Recipe Tips

Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to the skillet. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of cornmeal in the skillet. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready. Also, be sure to let excess buttermilk drip off the chicken before coating it in cornmeal to prevent clumping.
