 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!
