Ingredients:
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 8–16 pieces bone-in chicken (legs, thighs, breasts, wings)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
For the Crispy Coating:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch (for extra crunch)
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder (for light, crispy texture)
For Frying:

1. Marinate the Chicken for Maximum Flavor
- In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and Cajun seasoning.
- Submerge the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated.
