Ingredients:  
Chicken:
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups cornstarch
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1-pound chicken cutlets
3 to 4 cups solid vegetable shortening

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
Directions:
Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and hot sauce in a shallow casserole dish.

In a second shallow casserole dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper.

Place the chicken cutlets into the flour mixture, coating evenly on each side and shaking off the excess. Then place the chicken into the egg wash, coating the pieces on both sides.

Dredge the chicken a second time in flour and egg. (If you like, you can dredge a third time; the breading will be thicker with every coating.)

Heat the shortening in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 2 minutes; flip and continue cooking until golden brown and cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Make the hot sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cayenne, paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Brush the chicken with the warm hot sauce.

Personal Notes:
Try this: Combine the chicken with biscuits and white gravy - Place chicken pieces onto the bottom halves of the biscuits and top with white gravy and pickle slices. Cover with the biscuit tops and serve immediately.
