The problem
You want to make the best fried chicken, but you don't have any buttermilk. I got you, here's a buttermilk substitute for fried chicken from two things you already have.
The fix
Grab 240 ml (1 cup) of whole milk and add 1 tbsp of vinegar. That's it, a good substitute for buttermilk.
Why it works
The thing with buttermilk is that it has acid in it, and that acid is what tenderizes your chicken. The vinegar solves for that.
