  To Marinate Chicken:

  marinate up to 24 hours or use right away.

  To Cook Chicken:

  or until the temperature reaches 350°F/175°C.

  In a medium shallow bowl, whisk the flour, corn starch, and spices.
  Drizzle 2 to 3 tb of the buttermilk batter into the flour mixture
  and mix it through with a fork.

  Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken the flour mixture
  and press flour on the top chicken to form a thick crust. Transfer
  chicken to hot oil and fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until the
  outside is crispy and golden and the internal temperature reaches
  165°F.

  To Assemble:

  Melt 1 tb butter in a large saucepan and toast buns face down until

  pickles and chicken. Enjoy hot!
