  4. Next, dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture first, then dredge it in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it fully.

FAQs

Q: Can I use skin-on chicken?
A: You can, but boneless and skinless is recommended for even cooking and to get that perfect crunchy texture.

Q: What dipping sauces go well with this chicken?
A: Some great options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, or a spicy mayo. Enjoy experimenting with different flavors!
