What's the secret to keeping fried chicken moist and flavorful? Buttermilk isthe one must-have ingredient for your best fried chicken. Before the cooking even starts, marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk anywhere from two to 24 hours for incredible flavor. The soak in buttermilk does two things: first, the buttermilk's thick, clingy texture provides plenty of sticking power for the coating, resulting in an unbelievably crisp crust. And it's that curst that helps seal in the moisture, giving you juicy fried chicken. Second, the buttermilk's acidity helps tenderize the chicken and imparts a distinct flavor, the same way it makes biscuits and pancakes taste so good.
