The beauty of this recipe is right there in the name: cook it however you like. A tangy buttermilk batter spiked with a touch of soda gives the crust its lift, then a shake in a bag of flour builds the crunch before the chicken hits hot oil. It fries up golden, crisp, and juicy, a straightforward, dependable version of the fried chicken everyone at the table is hoping for.
