Notes

Marinating the chicken overnight significantly improves tenderness.
For extra crunch, consider double-dipping the chicken in buttermilk and the flour mixture.
Resting the breaded chicken for 5 minutes before cooking helps the coating adhere better.
Keep the frying oil at 350°F for optimal results; too hot or too cool can affect texture.
You can customize the spice level by adjusting the cayenne or adding hot sauce.
For leftovers, store chicken and buns separately; reheat the chicken in the oven to maintain crispiness.
