Using Buttermilk to Make Fried Chicken Recipes
Marinating chicken pieces in buttermilk overnight or for several hours before making your favorite fried chicken recipe is strictly optional but many people would say it is well worth doing. Buttermilk not only gives your chicken a fantastic flavor but it also helps to tenderize the meat and make it soft and delicious.

Once you have tried this approach to making the best deep fried chicken recipes you will want to use buttermilk every time.
Buttermilk is available in any grocery store worth its salt and you should keep it in the refrigerator. In Australia and the UK, buttermilk is used primarily for making muffins and scones but in other countries it is used for marinating and even cooking. Yogurt is another option for marinating chicken.

Buttermilk is not compulsory so if you can't find it, don't worry too much because there are plenty of wonderful fried chicken recipes you can make but if you have access to it, give it a try.
