Spicy Fried Chicken Dinner

• Cilantro Corn on the Cob
• Lemon Meringue Pie

Spicy Buttermilk-Brined Fried Chicken is a Southern-style treat. Add Cooling Buttermilk Slaw, Cilantro Corn on the Cob, and Lemon Meringue Pie to make it a complete meal. The pie is so fast it's even easier than pie -- pudding and meringue kisses in a graham cracker shell.
