This is not a good recipe if you like flavor. The coating is great, but the flavor profile is very bland....thumbs down

RecipeI does not use any marinade or injection. Very generic taste. Sans buttermilk, very generic recipe. But C for effort of simplicity. Works far better if you either marinate or inject chicken at least 12 hours before cutting up into sections. Also, fry chicken breasts at a slightly lower temperature ( about 10 degrees) for 7 minutes longer.

I have been looking for a good coating for chicken wings and this is it!! I deep fried them for about 9 minutes and they were perfect along with ranch dressing for dipping. I did substitute Panko for the bread crumbs, the wings were perfectly crisp! Can't wait to make the wings again and other chicken pieces.

Amazing! This is exactly how l have been making my fried chicken for over 25 years. People love it and ask me " What do you put in your chicken to make it taste so good?"

So good! A great variation to buttermilk fried chicken. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to the dredge for a little kick.
