Method
Chicken

Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for best results).

Dredge the Chicken
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
