Buttermilk Channel

[ulterior epicure]

I don't think I've seen a thread on the Buttermilk Channel yet.

Bruni just gave it one star.

What caught my attention was this:

Its name refers to the strait between Brooklyn and Governors Island, though the name also functions as a double entendre, buttermilk being deployed as an ingredient not only in the batter for fried chicken but also in the house-made ricotta that’s layered into an appetizer tart.

Has anyone had the fried chicken here?

Yes, several times. Nicely done, worth eating. Similar style, but not as good as Redhead's.

I haven't had, nor am familiar with the fried chicken at Redhead.

Crusty? Thick shell? Thin shell?
