Fixed this tonight & had company for dinner. They all loved it, I made mine with a chicken breast though, (I don't eat pork)the chicken was very good. The only thing I would change is next time I think I will skip dipping it in the buttermilk, I think it made the bottom a little soggy, even on the rack..but the flavor...mmmmm
