Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size.
  2. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
  4. Dredge the chicken pieces first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and return to the flour for a second coating.
  5. Chill the breaded chicken pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350°F.
  2. Fry chicken in small batches for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Drain fried chicken on paper towels.
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in hot sauce, honey, and garlic until combined.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the buffalo sauce until fully coated.
  6. Serve immediately with dressing on the side.

Notes

For extra crunch, double bread the chicken by increasing flour and egg mixture quantities. Ensure oil temperature stays at 350°F for best results. Can serve with celery, carrot, and cucumber sticks, and various dipping sauces.
