When our local Grocery Store has boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale for 1.79 lb. I always stock up. Sometimes I think I buy to much but the price is so cheap that I just can't resist. I package them up into smaller portions, freeze them and always have chicken in the freezer.
This week I had a major craving for fried chicken. I've tried making oven fried chicken as a healthier alternative but every one knows fried chicken just isn't fried chicken if it doesn't have that great crispy skin.
Thanks to my friends Tony and Maria for this great recipe that will satisfy any fried chicken craving. The potato buds that they use in the crust is really crispy and I used olive oil to fry it in so it is a least fried in a good for you fat.
It's not as healthy as oven fried chicken, but really do we have to be healthy all the time?

You must be reading my mind I've been so hungry for fried chicken. I haven't had it using the potato buds, but sounds like a great twist.
This looks great! Sometimes you just have to splurge but olive oile is good for you, right?
That looks delicious - very little is better than fried chicken!
Looks so good!
What a great idea to use potato buds!
What a great idea....and they look delicious!
These look really good. Potato buds crust is a great idea.
Yum...love the idea of potato buds as a crust! Fried chicken is something I never seem to make-it looks so good, I probably should.
Boneless, skinless for $1.79 a pound? I'd stock up on them, too. The cheapest I can get them for here is $1.88/lb.
