Steps:
- In a large bowl add in chicken, buttermilk, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning. Let chicken marinade at least an hour or up to overnight refrigerated..
- In a large deep plate add in rice krispies and flour.
- Once chicken has marinated, shake off excess buttermilk mixture and dredge each tender into the rice krispie mixture. Be sure to firmly press the chicken in to coat completely.
- Once chicken has been coated, allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes so the rice krispie coating will adhere better to the chicken.
- In a large pan add in 1-2 inches of oil and heat over medium high heat. Gently add in chicken strips once oil is hot. Once the chicken is frying, do not touch it until it's time to flip it.
- Cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until chicken has cooked through.
- Place the chicken strips on a wire rack with paper towels underneath to catch oil drips. This helps keep the chicken crispy on all sides.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
- Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken legs are the best choice for this recipe. They'll stay moist and juicy during baking.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken legs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Use a good quality rice Krispie treat cereal. The cereal is the main ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a brand that you like.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows. The marshmallows should be melted but not browned. Otherwise, they will taste burnt.
- Let the mixture cool before shaping it. This will help the mixture to set and make it easier to handle.
- Be creative with your toppings. You can use sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything else you like to decorate your chicken legs.
