ReplyDeleteYou're so funny. Sometimes ugly food really IS the best tasting. I know firsthand how great buttermilk is with chicken, so this recipe is going in the box for future reference. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaking this tonight! Sure sounds good. Wish me luck!!
ReplyDeleteI bet that does taste good; even if it isn't the best looking dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis was great. I cut my chicken in strips to cook faster and added a little diced onion and fresh mushrooms I needed to use.
