This chicken is great! browned on both sides and simmered... turning occasionally... and it was done before 40 mins was up... did allow it to cook the extra 5 mins uncovered... I didnt have poultry seasoning,., but I found a recipe for it to make this chicken! :-) It added such a nice flavor as evie said... I served it with my famous 'eggs n' potatos' :-) and apple sauce... family loves applesauce with fried chicken LOL :-) Thanks for a lovely meal!

I was looking for a recipe to use some bone-in chicken breasts and came across this one. So on 4/2/09 I made this for mine and SO's dinner. I let the chicken soak in buttermilk for about 5 hours, and followed the recipe as written. I think I might have cooked the chicken too long, as it was on the " really dry side " to me.And my SO and I both thought that it could have used a bit more seasoning. Thanks for posting, and "Keep Smiling :)"

Inez... this was wonderful! I fried 7 pieces of chicken (thighs and drumsticks) and the results were perfect. The first batch I made, I forgot to let them sit in the coating for 20 minutes, but I didn't forget to the 2nd time. The 2nd batch came out much better.... so if you make this... make sure you let it sit like Inez says! The coating really sticks so much better if you don't skip this step. Thank you!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
