- In a medium bowl, add buttermilk and submerge chicken thigh pieces; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- While chicken is marinating, make hot sauce to toss chicken in once it is fried by melting butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and then adding hot sauce, 1/2 tablespoon pepper & lemon juice.
- Mix well and simmer for about 2 minutes before removing from heat.
- In a large bowl make the breading mixture for chicken by adding salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, curry powder, cornstarch & baking powder.
- In a 5 quart Dutch oven (cast iron is best!), bring oil to 325°F over medium-high heat.
- Remove thighs from buttermilk and allow to drip off excess liquid before dredging in bowl of seasoned breading mix coating all sides well.
- Carefully lower coated thighs into hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes or until outside is a crispy golden brown and internal temperature of each piece reaches 165°F.
- Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- In a large bowl place cooked thighs and pour hot sauce over thighs, tossing to coat evenly.
