    What a great easy and simple recipe! I thought this chicken needed a sauce, so I made a Monterey-jack cheese sauce and put that on the chicken -- yummy!! Just melt a 1/2 stick of butter with some flour and make a roux, using milk. I used left over slices of the cheese and pulled apart pieces and put in the pot and constantly stirring until melted.

    For the seasonings, I did NOT salt the chicken because I used Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning (which has plenty of salt in it already, did add extra tobasco sauce in the buttermilk, and cut up the chicken pieces like chicken tenders/fingers for easy cooking and more fun to dip in the sauce. Made a creamy corn casserole as a side dish and compliments the chicken very well.

    Following the batter steps is key --- flour, buttermilk, cajun seasoning to frying pan.

    This is a wonderful recipe! I had leftovers and they were still crunchy the next day unlike other coated chicken recipe. The flavor was awesome, although I did add some seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper to the cornmeal and flour mixture. Otherwise I followed the recipe and my family is still raving about it 2 weeks later!!!

    For my husband's birthday he requested fried chicken for dinner. I had never made fried chicken before, so last night I tested out this recipe to see if it would turn out OK & if I was able to do it! YES. I used boneless chicken breasts with skin on, and didn't do the finish in oven part, I just fried it in the oil for about 15 minutes total, and the chicken was perfectly crispy & moist. Definitely making this for his birthday dinner!

    The chicken was crunchy and spicy on the outside; moist and tender on the inside. Wonderful flavor!!! I served it with New Orleans style rice and fried okra; got rave reviews from the family!

    I thought this was a wonderful and easy dish. The frying went very smoothly. Although I had to broil it in the oven to get it crispy enough.

    But overall, the flavor was great! I will definitely make this again.

    This was golden and cruncy, with good flavor. Must turn very gently, and make sure that you have cooked it long enough before you turn it.

    This recipe looked really easy on the show, but I had trouble getting the coating to stick to the chicken. When I tried to turn the chicken it came off. Taste was good.
