Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk, coarse salt, red chilli powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper overnight.

In a large bowl, combine plain flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne powder, salt, and black pepper.

Remove chicken from buttermilk brine and dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.

Heat vegetable oil to around 160°C in a deep skillet.

Fry chicken pieces until light brown, then transfer to a bowl with baking paper to absorb excess oil.

Raise oil temperature to 180°C and fry chicken again for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve fried chicken on top of toasted Belgian waffles, drizzling with maple syrup.
