2. Dip chicken into the flour, then buttermilk mixture, then back into flour, pressing to coat well until ready to serve.
3. Fry chicken in oil at 175°C (350°F) for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Whisk cayenne, brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika into 1/2 cup of hot frying oil to create the spicy coating over medium heat until heated through, about 5 min.
