Ham, Cheese and Onion Crustless Quiche

Southern Fried Chicken

This Southern Fried Chicken recipe from Paula Deen, is proof that fried chicken need not be a two day event!

Sure, soaking the chicken in buttermilk the night before would arguably make this even better, but Paula doesn't require any soaking of the chicken. We did soak our chicken pieces in buttermilk about 2 hours before breading and frying.  The end result was a fried chicken that was crunchy on the outside, juicy in the center!
