FAUX FRIED CHICKEN
This recipe comes from the "Crazyplates" cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski. Baked chicken that tastes like fried- fabulous! I don't use buttermilk often, so I keep a can of Saco cultured Buttermilk Blend in the frige to mix up small amounts when needed. I found it in the baking aisle.
