# Steps:
01 -
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pan on the stovetop, ensuring it is a few inches deep, and bring to a temperature of 325°F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce until combined.

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and return to the flour mixture, pressing down firmly to ensure the flour coating adheres well.

Place the coated chicken in the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat this step for all the chicken pieces.

In a large pan, heat 1/4 cup of the reserved oil over medium-high heat.

Stir in the flour until it is fully absorbed in the oil. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously.

Pour the gravy over individual portions of chicken and serve warm.
