    I was getting ready to just fry the chicken, but then I looked at this receipe and decided to follow it. Finished the chicken in the oven and it came out moist and crispy. Very tasty.

    This is the first real attempt at cooking. It's such a great recipe. You can really taste the buttermilk, and the spices really add a kick. I'm really pleased with how it came out!

    I loved the recipe It was easy to do and to make changes so that my nephew who is allergic to gluton was able to eat I believe the crispyness was from putting the chicken on a rack when baking it I love to watch your show and have used several of your recipes I liked them all

    This recipe is fabulous. Chicken is tender, tasty, easy to pull together. I was afraid of Southern Fried Chicken. Not anymore! My family loves this recipe. Thank you, Melissa!

    Buttermilk, salt and 8 hours or overnight is the magic ingredient for any tasty chicken. I lived in Germany for over 3 years. I came across another american who appreciated american food. Well, she had made a similar recipe with the above ingredient and it was the most tender, juicy and tasty chicken I ever had and. . . she only used flour with garlic, onion powder and salt and pepper. Therefore, I'm sure with the ingredient that Melissa used could only exemplify the dish! I think this is a southern way of cooking. I am from the Northeast and I thought it is an excellent dish! Enjoy!!!

    Hi Ingrid. My guess is the reason that your chicken wasn't crispy is because the oil wasn't at a high enough temperature when you fried it.

    One tip that I learned from a culinary school student was to dip the chicken in some egg wash first, and then dredge it in the flour and fry. I tried it with this recipe and it worked marvelously!!

    I loved the taste in this recipe but after 2 separate attempts, couldn't get the chicken crispy. What am I doing wrong???

    Quite good and a fast fix. I will admit that I forgot the bread crumbs, but it was still very good. I used boneless chicken breast and boneless thighs. I will make this again.

    My husband has been begging me to fix him fried chicken since we got married almost 4 years ago and I finally gave it a try after watching this episode. It was so easy and delicious. The hot pepper sauce adds the perfect amount of heat and the bredding was crunchy and had wonderful flavor. Tbe breast pieces that came in my package of chicken were much larger than the legs and thighs and took almost 30min to cook, but the dark meat was perfectly done in 15min. My husband is thrilled that we can now add fried chicken to our weeknight meal options.
