01 Buttermilk Marinade:
Instructions
- If you don't have butter milk you can make it yourself by combining 1 cup warm milk + 1TB lemon juice and wait 20 minutes.
- whip up some beaten eggs with buttermilk, hot sauce, pickle juice, and maybe a bit of berbere (1/2TB) and MSG(1/2TB) if you're feelin' fancy
- your going to allow your chicken to sit in this AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I can’t stress this enough, the deliciousness here is increasing exponentially the longer you let it sit. Overnight for optimal results, but if you lack proper planning skill, I’ll accept 2-4 hours.

02 Flour Dredge:
Instructions

- For the flour mix, just toss together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, and the optional rice flour,with kosher salt, give it a good whisk.
- Take the chicken out of the marinade, dip it in the flour, then in the buttermilk, and back in the flour. Repeat for all your chicken pieces.
