Marinate chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare a dredging station with a mixture of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Remove chicken from buttermilk and let excess 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 shimmering.

Fry chicken in batches, cooking for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

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

In a separate pan, melt butter over low heat and stir in honey until combined.

Drizzle honey butter over the fried chicken and toss to coat evenly.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
