05/30/2012 Great! A little advice: when you dress the salad ,put the vinegar first, then the olive oil, otherwise oil stops wetting salad leafs by vinegar.

01/04/2011 Any suggestions on how to keep the breadcrumbs from clumping up? As I dipped more and more buttermilk soaked chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, they all clumped together and the last pieces did not get as good of coverage as the first.

05/29/2010 Love it! Probably the tastiest "fried" style chicken dish I have made. I went with dried oregano over thyme and some extra habanero based hot sauce. I also paired it with the carrot-cumin slaw, and blueberry crumb cake for desert. Great Food Fast has been very good to me!

04/20/2010 I added a bit of barbecue sauce (UK levi roots' reggae sauce) with the buttermilk and substituted chili flakes to hot pepper sauce, I also added more fresh parmesan cheeese and it was absolutely delicious!

03/10/2009 Easy and great tasting. I prepared the chicken ahead of time and kept it in the fridge until I was ready to cook it. My family loved it.

01/21/2009 Leave the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for at least one day. The chicken should be moist like when placed in a brine.

12/16/2008 ROFL on the buttermilk comment! Here in Alabama, buttermilk is also a staple and never considered anyone not knowing what it is!

12/12/2008 I'm from Georgia, so maybe my location has a lot to do with this, but I sincerely laughed out loud when she said "surprisingly there's no butter in buttermilk"...I thought everyone knew what buttermilk is. Here you can buy it by the gallon! I guess everything is exotic to someone. :)

08/14/2008 I used drumsticks and thighs and took the skins off. I also tripled the thyme and added poultry seasoning and my kids and husband loved it. It's even better left over. Although I would say the prep time is more like 20 minutes. This is a great chicken recipe for the whole family.

04/01/2008 Did not bake well at all. It also lacked flavor, despite the hot-pepper sauce. I would not bother with this recipe.

03/30/2008 I used plain yogurt instead of buttermilk ,and added caujun seasoning to it to marinate, before coating with breadcrumbs to bake. Taste great and my husband loves it.

03/11/2008 Tried this recipe with chicken breasts hoping that the buttermilk would make them moist. Big mistake. Not the best tasting recipe, but will try next time with dark meat to see if the taste improves.

02/10/2008 really easy to make. I think the drumsticks turned out the best. Not the best chicken recipe I've tried on this site, but it is decent.

02/06/2008 Should have used skinless because my grandson said it was good but kind of greasy.
