My Nana was a master at fried chicken. Her signature recipe was her buttermilk fried chicken and let me tell you – it was incredible! Fall off the bone tender, juicy, and perfectly crisp. Perfection.
Sadly, I don’t have the recipe. Kinda makes me want to cry just thinking about it. My Aunt Gwen is flying in from Texas this week and I’m going to attempt to jog her memory.
I need this recipe.  Badly.
Good news? I’ll totally share with you :)

More good news! I’ve got a recipe that’s going to knock your socks off and make you forget about my Nana’s fried chicken.
It’s a better-for-you, Nana-inspired recipe and my boys LOVE it! Rosemary Buttermilk Ranch Chicken Skewers. Yep. Totally a mouthful but worth every word. Chicken breasts are marinated in buttermilk, fresh rosemary, and a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix.
The marinade itself is pretty rocking and smells amazing but boy oh boy when you throw these bad boys on the grill – watch out!

The chicken is perfectly moist and delicious and has out of this world flavor. I like to make up some ranch dip and while it’s totally optional, I highly recommend. Especially if you have kiddos like mine that think a world without dip would be a world they would just assume not live in.
We’re big ranch fans and there’s only one ranch for us – Hidden Valley Ranch. I keep those 4-pack boxes of both the dressing and dip mixes in my pantry – at ALL TIMES. I’m no dummy!

This recipe is great all year long but is especially ideal as we approach summer. The chicken is fabulous on it’s own, served over rice, or with a fresh green salad.
I like to make enough for leftovers because this chicken makes a KILLER grilled chicken salad the next day. Yum!
