- chicken
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- flour
- cornstarch

## Instructions

1. Combine kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well to create the seasoning.
2. Add half of the seasoning mix directly to the chicken.
3. Rub the seasoning into every nook and cranny of the chicken to ensure it sticks.
4. Pour half a cup of buttermilk over the seasoned chicken.
5. Add a quarter cup of hot sauce to the chicken and buttermilk mixture.
6. Mix the chicken, buttermilk, and hot sauce thoroughly; the mixture will tenderize the chicken and act as a binder for the dredge.
7. Cover the chicken and marinate for as long as possible, ideally overnight.
8. In a separate pan, add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and the remaining half of the seasoning mix, then combine.
9. Add a bit of water to the dry batter and mix to create craggily bits.
10. Dredge the marinated chicken in the dry batter until well coated.
11. Shake off any excess batter from the chicken.
12. Place the dredged chicken onto a pan.
13. Spray the chicken generously with neutral oil on both sides.
14. Air fry the chicken at 375°F for 12 minutes.
15. Flip the chicken, spray again with oil, and continue air frying for 6 to 8 minutes.
16. The chicken is done when it is golden brown, crispy, and reads an internal temperature of 165°F.
