Notes
- Storing
- Keep them stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken in the oven or air fryer, then toss with the sauce.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the sauce.
- You can swap the chicken breasts with thighs if preferred.
- Save yourself a trip back to the store. You can make a buttermilk substitute by using any milk and an acid such as white vinegar, lemon juice, or cream of tartar.
- Grab a 1 cup measuring cup and pour in 1 Tablespoon of either vinegar or lemon juice (not both). Continue filling the cup with your choice of milk until the measuring cup is full. Allow it to sit until the milk begins to curdle. Now, it's ready to use!
