Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken

Serves: 4 6

One of my all time favorite ways to eat chicken is this Oven Fried Chicken recipe that my aunt shared with me several years ago. I have since made many variations of this recipe; however, recently I decided to try Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken.

I have found a new love for buttermilk lately and feel like it adds a new element of pure deliciousness to recipes. That just means you may be seeing it a bit more in some of the recipes that I share.

This time I decided to soak the chicken in the buttermilk overnight or you can do it in the mornings. Then, when you get home from work the chicken is well soaked and ready to pop in the oven.

I also made this a bit more crunchy by adding the cornmeal to it too. This chicken was wonderful paired with green beans and potatoes.
