Marinating the chicken in buttermilk before coating can enhance the flavor and tenderness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Storage and Serving
Leftover fried chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
Serve fried chicken with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
