Ingredients

  • 3 Chicken Breasts or 1 lb. Chicken Tenders
  • 2 cups Light Buttermilk
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1-2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into equal size pieces. For chicken breasts, cut into thirds. You may also use tenders or thighs. Place chicken in gallon-size freezer bag or bowl and add buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk. On a large plate combine flour and seasoning. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, pressing flour onto each side. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Place butter in cast-iron skillet and melt butter in the oven. Once butter has melted, remove skillet from oven. Place chicken pieces in skillet, leaving enough room between the pieces to flip.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until coating on the bottom is lightly brown. Flip pieces and return to oven. Bake for 10-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F and the coating is crispy.
