Can F*ck it Up Fried Chicken?

I'll give this a go but buttermilk just isn't anywhere to bee seen in my country. Any substitutes? I was thinking probably using egg, milk, bit o' sugar & vinegar to aid in caramelization would kinda work? So this goes out to any Fried Chicken Maestros out there: plausible or not really?

I've read that ifyou mix 1 part milk and 3 parts unsweetened yogurt, that is a good substitute. I've never tried it, so I'm not sure how good it is. I've also read mixing equal parts yogurt and milk. Good luck

If adventerous, you could try making your own buttermilk (but requres raw or starter culture-that perhaps you can purchase in your country). An egg would work but will require cooking also. CS has a methycellulose slurry for their fish and chips which may work and for fun you could use carbonated (sparkling) water (real cold) in your batter.

I used plain white yogurt and it worked fine.

I thought about the methylcellulose as a good sub but my modernist pantry is pretty empty atm

Thank you good sir! I'll go with this as it sounds compositionally similar to buttermilk! To the kitchen! o/

I've done this with a squeeze of lemon, too

Sour cream. thin it out with a little bit of water to get the same consistency as buttermilk. Done it and it works.
