Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- 2
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat (about 350°F).
- 4
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture until fully coated.
- 5
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with a little more salt if desired.
