Fried chicken

So my husband is from down south and wants me to make him fried chicken…I never made it before so I’m nervous. The question I have is I keep reading two different things about using buttermilk. Is water or buttermilk better? Also, which sides would you recommend?

Buttermilk! Tastes great with baked mac and cheese, mashed potato w gravy, cornbread

Buttermilk. Never use water. You can even make your own buttermilk but using whole milk and adding 1 tbsp vinegar to 1 cup ratio. Season the flour well and the chicken. Season is not salt! In case you’re not sure. Baked Mac and cheese, collard greens w turkey necks, yams, cornbread.

Definitely buttermilk and please make sure to season the chicken and the flour. Of course after cleaning the chicken throughly. As far as sides I love Baked Mac n cheese cabbage yams cornbread for sure you of course and also have mashed potatoes with gravy
