  1. This dish made a very nice dinner for my students last nite! I served it with recipe#127490 and recipe#130664. The reason it just got 4 stars is that the breading did not cling to the skinless chicken very well. I suggest dredging the chicken in the flour before dipping into the buttermilk. I also cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as the seasoning mix already contained salt. As usual, with hungry college guys, nothing was left over. Next time, I will put a piece away to try cold the next day! Yes, I agree with you, Kittencal...don't know why it is called "picnic" chicken. I think I would rename it "Chicken Ole", lol!
