I always soak my chicken in buttermilk before frying but that is usually just overnight. This recipe advocates soaking it for three days. A friend of work sent this to me after trying the recipe and he told me that it was the best he'd ever had; http://boingboing.net/2015/02/11/how-to-make-the-absolute-best.html. I'm going to have to try it as I LOVE chicken and waffles, anyway. I actually bought a waffle maker last year when my wife was out of town and I was bored, just to make them.
