We just love the crispiness of this buttermilk fried chicken recipe. Soaking the chicken in buttermilk tenderizes the meat and makes the final outcome very moist. Frying in a cast iron skillet is just like how grandma used to make it. The spicy honey drizzle on top is the perfect complement to the savory chicken. Serve with crispy waffles and this meal is a dream.

How to Make Buttermilk Fried Chicken With Spicy Honey Drizzle
- When the oil is hot place chicken pieces in the skillet, but do not crowd. Oil should be hot but not smoking. Fry chicken at least 12 minutes per SIDE. It will depend on how large the pieces are and dark meat takes longer than the white meat. If the oil is too hot it will burn the outside and not cook the inside.
