Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Mac-n-Cheese and Green Bean Casserole

Listen up y'all, welcome to Gainesville, Georgia - "CHICKEN CITY" Join my friends and me for a down home, country-style meal. Nothing soothes the soul like friends and food. Buttermilk fried chick, mac-n-chees casserole and homemade, garden-fresh green bean casserole. MMM MMM. Every once in a while, even we dieters deviate from our strict regime of totally healthy foods and seek out the good stuff. Please note that I tried to reduce the fat where I could. Note the cream of mushroom soup used in the green bean casserole. Not only does it have 16 ingredients like the canned stuff, it doesn't have the fat traditional homemade stuff has either - 2-3 cups of cream and nearly a stick of butter!. In the poultry capital of the world, one must know how to prepare chicken. took a whole chicken, cut it up and marinated it in a buttermilk and salt brine for 8 hours. I coated it with a mixture of flour , cornmeal and seasonings; fried it and well the rest is history. It was tender, juicy and flavorful. It got gone in a hurry. The homemade mac-n-chees, which was enough for 8, was served to 4 and little to any was left by the end of the night. These side happen to be perfect sides for fried chicken. The meal was satisfying, uncomplicated, and didn't take all night to prepare. Victory. Y'all come on back you here.
