Oven-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

I use boneless chicken breasts for this but I'm writing it down the same way that I received it. I also turn on the broiler for the last few minutes to get it extra crispy,flipping once. Marinating time is not included. Very good with garlic mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Show more
