"BUTTERMILK PECAN CHICKEN is from the Patchwork Quilt Restaurant, Middlebury IN. The Patchwork Quilt is one of the most famous, and best, restaurants in northern Indiana. Reservations must be made weeks ahead (months ahead on weekends). It draws regular visitors from Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Cleveland, Detroit. This is one of their more popular dishes. They had 2 fryers (cut up) I'm using 8 leg and thighs but feel free."

Delish! We loved the pecan coating, giving the chicken some crispiness and nutty flavor. Great flavor combination and tasty chicken. Thanks!
