Buttermilk chicken is a delicious dish, popular in Southern American cuisine, known for its crispy, golden exterior and tender, juicy interior. The chicken is marinated in buttermilk, which helps break down proteins, making the meat particularly moist and flavorful. It is often seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper before being coated in a flour mixture and fried until crisp. While rich in protein, buttermilk chicken is typically high in calories and fat due to the frying process. Opting for baked or air-fried variations can provide a healthier alternative while preserving the signature taste. The buttermilk marinade also adds calcium from dairy, though sodium content may be elevated depending on seasoning choices. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can balance the indulgence and provide a wholesome meal.
