For extra crispy chicken, you can double dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture. You can also add your favorite vegetables. Consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk for added flavor. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ideally with the dressing kept separate.
