Pound chicken breasts to uniform 3/4-inch thickness for even cooking.

In large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Add chicken breasts to buttermilk marinade, ensuring complete coverage.

Marinate chicken in refrigerator for minimum 2 hours or overnight.

Mix signature seasoning blend by combining all spice ingredients.

In shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.

Add baking powder to flour mixture for extra crispy coating.

Heat oil to 350°F in deep fryer or heavy pot for frying.

Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Dredge each piece thoroughly in seasoned flour mixture.

Press coating firmly into chicken for maximum adherence.

Let coated chicken rest for 5 minutes to set coating.

Carefully lower chicken into hot oil, don't overcrowd.

Fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove chicken and drain on wire rack over paper towels.

Season immediately with additional seasoning blend while hot.

Keep finished chicken warm in 200°F oven while making gravy.

For country gravy, melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.

Whisk in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.

Gradually whisk in milk and cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Season gravy with salt, pepper, and additional seasonings.

Simmer gravy until thickened to desired consistency, about 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for perfect flavor balance.

Serve chicken immediately while coating is crispy.

Accompany with warm country gravy and traditional Southern sides.
