This was the best fried chicken I have ever had! I used my deep fryer with canola oil instead of crisco. DH is watching his weight. My family absolutly loved it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Really nice chicken! I made mine slightly differently. I coated mine with the flour mixture and microwaved for about 3mins, coated again and placed under a hot grill. it was crispy and tasty. good for weight watchers! THANK FOR POSTING.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made this weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to post my comment. Finally a recipe that not only does the chicken stay CRISPY, it's tasty too! The only thing i did different was let the chicken soak in buttermilk for a few hours. Once i drained it, i followed your recipe exactly and it was delicous! It will be a keeper for sure in my house! Thanks again!

Tried pre-steaming drumsticks slightly before following this receipe since it's tough to tell if the inside is fully cooked when the outside is brown & crispy. I read this somewhere on Zaar & it worked well for me. The chicken was very crispy but the flavour of the coating was not quite what I was looking for but we still enjoyed. My search goes on... Thanks!
