Crispy fried chicken is a classic dish that is loved by people of all ages. The key to making crispy fried chicken is to use a combination of buttermilk and flour to coat the chicken. The buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken, while the flour creates a crispy crust. The chicken is then fried in hot oil until golden brown.
