🍳 Instructions

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces if not using tenders.
Marinate chicken in buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 10 minutes.
Mix flour, cornstarch, and breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
Dredge marinated chicken in flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, ~5–6 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
For sauce: Mix hot sauce with melted butter, toss cooked wings until coated.
Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce.
