  • “Great recipe, Karen!The buttermilk and dill went so well together and the coating was so crispy.The only change I made was that I added a teaspoon of paprika.Hubby devoured his and then finished off MY leftovers! Yum! Thanx Karen.”

  • “This made awesome chicken.I added a little cayenne to the flour mixture, and added a little chili oil to the vegetable oil.The chicken was tender and juicy and the breading was very crispy… DH had 3 pieces, before I was even finished cooking the rest of the chicken.Thanks Karen, this was great, and you’re right – this will now be our standard fried chicken recipe!”
