FAQ
1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken thighs are naturally juicier and will work beautifully with this recipe. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
2. Can I grill this chicken instead of pan-frying it?
Yes! This recipe is versatile. Simply grill the chicken over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked.
3. Can I skip the buttermilk marinade?
While you can, the buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and enhances the flavor. If you’re in a pinch, a yogurt-based marinade is a great substitute.
With this simple yet extraordinary recipe, you’ll unlock the secret to restaurant-quality chicken at home. Enjoy!
