INGREDIENTS
8 - 12 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
Oil for frying
10 ounces spring mix greens
2-3 roma tomatoes, sliced
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 red onion, sliced thin

Buttermilk Marinade
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 tablespoons chopped dill
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Seasoned Flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt

PREPARATION

1. In a medium bowl, combine all the buttermilk marinade ingredients. Toss in chicken thighs and marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.

2. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for dill dressing. Cover and let sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

3. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for seasoned flour. Dip chicken in flour until chicken is completely covered. Repeat for all chicken thighs.
