Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
