04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

06 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Crunchy Coating

07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder

08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

10 - 1 teaspoon paprika

11 - 1 cup (125g) flour for all purposes

12 - 1/2 cup (60g) cornstarch

13 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Sauce with Honey and Butter

14 - 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

15 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

16 - 1/4 cup (60g) butter, unsalted

17 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

18 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce

19 - 1 tablespoon honey

# Étapes de réalisation:

01 - Stir together buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Submerge the chicken pieces completely in the marinade, making sure every piece is coated. Chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for max flavor.

02 - Combine cornstarch, flour, and all the seasonings in a big bowl. Shake off extra marinade from a chicken piece, then toss it in the flour blend until fully covered.

03 - Using about 2 inches of oil heated to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan, fry chicken batches until crispy and golden all around. Each side takes 5-6 minutes. Make sure the thickest part reads 165°F (75°C) when checked.

04 - Melt butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic and chili flakes if you'd like a bit of heat. Mix in honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Cook until it looks shiny and smooth.

05 - Pour or brush the honey butter sauce over the crispy chicken. Make sure every bite gets that sweet and tangy glaze.

# Détails supplémentaires:

01 - Soaking the chicken overnight gives the meat extra flavor and tenderness.

02 - Adding cornstarch to the coating mix makes the chicken crispier.

03 - Once fried, let chicken sit on a wire rack. This keeps it crunchy.
