14 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
15 - 1 teaspoon salt
16 - 1 tablespoon sugar
17 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
18 - 3/4 cup cold buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
# How to make it:
01 - Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a large bowl. Submerge chicken pieces completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
02 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold buttermilk and stir until just combined.
03 - Turn dough onto floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness. Fold dough in half and pat down 3 to 4 times. Cut biscuits with 2.5-inch cutter. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, brush tops with buttermilk. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
04 - Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
05 - Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F in heavy skillet. Remove chicken from marinade letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in seasoned flour, pressing to adhere. Fry in batches turning occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Drain on wire rack.
06 - Serve fried chicken hot alongside freshly baked buttermilk biscuits.
