    I used white whole wheat flour as well as low fat buttermilk too and it was fantastic. I don't like fried chicken anyway because of all the grease and this was a perfect substitute. Thank you! - 5/8/09

    We both thought this tasted like a diet recipe, not enough flavor. - 3/8/10

    Hello,
    I think the calories and such are higher shown so knowing it's even less makes it even
    better! I hope you enjoy it and I agree its a nice change up.
