Method
For the Chicken Bites
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Fry the Chicken
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the Honey Buttermilk Lemon Dipping Sauce
Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until well combined. Adjust salt to taste.
