Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Submerge the Chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
Whisk Dredge ingredients in a bowl, then coat each piece of chicken, pressing firmly to ensure a thick, craggy coating.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and fry chicken until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 12 to 15 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt the Honey Butter Finish ingredients together; lightly brush the glaze over the fried chicken immediately before serving to maintain crust integrity.
