You know how you soak chicken in milk or buttermilk before dredging?
Does it HAVE to be dairy? Can it be soy milk or rice milk?
The reason I ask is because my husband is VERY allergic to milk & milk derivatives (casein, whey,
etc...) & I have to convert most all recipe's to accommodate him. I haven't make fried chicken in
a loooong time.

How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a
healthy choice?
Rather than buttermilk, in your case, why not try brining it instead? That will give you the
tenderness and juiciness. Make a basic brine (1 gal of water ought to be plenty, I would add 1/2-3/4
c salt, some lightly crushed rosemary sprigs, crushed peppercorns, and a halved lemon), and soak the
chicken pieces for 1-2 hours. Do it early in the day because after you thoroughly rinse them, you'll
want to put them on a rack over a baking pan and let them dry for a couple hours in the fridge. Use
an egg wash before dredging, and you're set.
