buttermilk

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier but can be pricier.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: chili powder

Smoked paprika offers a similar flavor with less heat.

Marinate chicken pieces in Tabasco sauce and buttermilk for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Remove chicken from marinade and let excess liquid drip off.

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes per batch.

Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Serve hot, optionally with additional hot sauce on the side.
