Cracker Barrel Fried Chicken Recipe
Starting with the right seasoning is key—mix together flour, salt, and pepper to coat the chicken thoroughly.I can’t stress enough how important it is to heat the oil to 350°F to get that nice, crunchy exterior.Using buttermilk not only helps the breading stick, but it also adds a delicious tangy flavor that I just love.
Ingredients
