Scroll down to see more fried chicken recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breast halves or other chicken pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 to 3 bunches green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths

Preparation:

Combine chicken, salt, pepper, and the flour on large plate; toss lightly to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken, pouring off excess oil.

Return the skillet to the heat and add buttermilk, scraping pan to loosen any brown bits. Add chicken, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is tender and juices run clear, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and toss to coat. Cook until just golden, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Arrange chicken and green onions on serving platter. Pour remaining juices from the chicken skillet into blender container and pulse until smooth. Serve with chicken.
Serve with rice or potatoes. Serves 4.

VERY GOOD, Member MsVicki1950

I followed the directions and let the batter sit for about 20 minutes. Stuck like glue to the chicken strips. Moist and crunchy.
