- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 1
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in baking dish and top with buttermilk, making sure that all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, add vegetable oil (to 1 1/2" deep) and heat over medium-heat to 350° F. Working in small batches, take each piece of chicken and thoroughly coat with breading mixture. Place in oil. Cook on each side about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and place in lightly greased baking dish.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink. Do not turn.
