My wife has used this recipe alot to fry chicken...

she will reduce the amount of shortning (doesn't use oil) and substitute butter or a small amount of bacon grease. I think the buttermilk is the key. (she doesn't fry bacon as much as she used to, - but she used to add a small spoon full of bacon grease to the shortning - yum!)

If you have any questions send me a PM and I'll have my wife respond.
