  2. Using a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper.
  3. Pour the buttermilk into another large bowl. Take your breasts, lightly dust them with your flour mixture, then dip them in the buttermilk and place them in the flour mixture, making sure that the chicken is thoroughly coated for it to be crunchy.
  4. Gently place the breasts in your hot oil. Repeat the same process with your other pieces of chicken. You should have 16 pieces of chicken in the oil.
