Honey mustard adds sweetness and flavor.

Season chicken legs with oregano, basil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, seasoned salt, and hot sauce.

Add yellow mustard to the chicken and mix well.

Place chicken in a plastic bag and let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

The next day, add buttermilk to the marinated chicken.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 365°F.

In a bowl, mix club soda and three eggs to create a wet batter.

In a separate bag, combine all-purpose flour, paprika, onion powder, roasted garlic seasoning, lemon pepper, oregano, and 1 cup of cornstarch for the dry coating.

Dip the marinated chicken into the wet batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing it in for an even coating.

Fry the chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through.
