Grandma’s Fried Chicken

There’s something magical about a plate of golden, crispy fried chicken. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a nostalgic reminder of family gatherings, sunny Sunday afternoons, and the warm comfort of home. Today, I’m excited to share a cherished recipe from my Nana’s kitchen: her famous Fried Chicken. This isn’t just any fried chicken; it’s the kind that warms your soul with every bite, perfect for those days when you need a little extra comfort or want to impress at a family dinner.

The secret to Nana’s perfectly crispy, tender fried chicken? Buttermilk. Soaking the chicken in buttermilk before frying does wonders. It tenderizes the meat, adds a subtle tang, and helps the flour coating stick better, resulting in a beautifully crispy crust. Trust me, once you try this method, there’s no going back.

Let’s dive into the recipe and create some delicious memories in your kitchen.
