Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Add the hot sauce, egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter.

2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, toss to make sure each piece is coated in the batter and set aside. Place Panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.

3. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients for the sauce together and refrigerate until ready for serving.

4. Heat the oil in a large skillet. One by one, remove chicken pieces from batter and in the breadcrumbs, coating completely (add more breadcrumbs as needed). Fry chicken on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

5. Remove pieces to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat process until all chicken is cooked.

6. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.
