Season chicken with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Prepare two batters: one with buttermilk and the other with egg and milk.

Heat peanut oil in a deep skillet to about three-quarters of an inch deep.

Dredge chicken pieces in the chosen batter and fry in batches until crispy and golden brown.
