If you leave the coating on the chicken for at least 20 minutes before cooking, it will stay on the meat! Also it will be more crispy if you add 1/3 cup Cornstarch to the flour Mixture. Give it a try!

I noticed my dad's aged and decrepit body squirmed with unbridled delight at chomping down with his plastic and few remaining natural teeth upon some of these wondrous crispy chicken fingers.

I use a similar recipe and it is awesome! The only difference is I used Peanut Oil instead of Vegetable Oil. Buttermilk is definitely a key ingredient to crispy & moist chicken.

My very picky kids liked them so they are good enough for me! I listened to some previous reviewers and let the coated chicken sit for about 20 minutes. I like to let the chicken sit on top of the flour mixture so it can absorb as much of the flour mixture as possible. Chicken turned out golden and crispy. Will make again. Thanks
