directions
Mix all ingredients together.
Place chicken and buttermilk in a large sealable plastic bag or plastic container with a lid, and leave in the fridge overnight or a minimum of 4 hours.
Pre-heat a deep fryer with canola oil to 290 deg Fahrenheit, or, using a thermometer, carefully heat about 1-inch of canola oil in an iron skillet to reach 290 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl or square container to make a “dry station”.
Place the buttermilk soaked chicken or “wet station” next to the “dry station”.
Working with one dry hand and one wet hand, place the chicken in the dry station and coat with seasoned flour.
Using your dry hand, transfer the battered chicken pieces back to the buttermilk. Repeat process once more, and then remove the double-battered chicken to a clean tray.
Carefully fry the chicken in canola oil for 12 minutes or 6 minutes on each side if using an iron skillet.
Coat with Chicken Sauce, and serve.
