Buttermilk Crispy Chicken
Buttermilk Crispy Chicken! Dinner tonight should definitely be Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Drumsticks! The buttermilk makes the chicken moist and extra flavorful.
Sometimes I come home and think what do I have in my kitchen that I can make that would be super delicious! We had all of this stuff and on hand and were super happy with our results. In fact, I ate two drumsticks and Matt ate four.
I can tell when Matt likes what I made because we won’t have leftovers. Plus who doesn’t like crispy chicken, and even better it’s not deep-fried but baked. That’s a win on all fronts!

These sure look yummy. This reminds me of the fried chicken my mom used to make 🙂 , but healthier because they’re baked! Nice pics.
Thank you!
OOOOO WHEEE! These look SOOO good! I love cooking with buttermilk, it gives food a delicious savory tang. I really like the fact that this recipe has so many spices in it, it makes up for the flavor that would come from the deep fry. And let’s not forget that drumsticks are the CHEAPEST chicken parts to buy! Win, Win Win!! #smallvictoriessundaylinkup
I like the cornflakes with the Panco!
Great flavors going on here!
I love baked “fried” chicken!
Thanks
