Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk marinade and then into the flour mixture.
• Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to ensure crispy and evenly cooked chicken.
• You can also bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for a healthier alternative.

Storage and Serving

• Sage Fried Chicken is best served immediately for maximum crispiness.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in the oven or toaster oven to maintain its crispiness.
