Cut boneless chicken breasts into 2-inch pieces.

In a bowl, combine kosher salt, granulated sugar, and cool water, stirring until dissolved to create a brine.

Add the chicken pieces to the brine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch, then whisk together.

In a separate bowl, beat one egg and add milk, whisking until combined.

Take the brined chicken pieces and coat them in the flour mixture, then dip them into the egg and milk mixture, and return to the flour mixture for a double coating.

Place the coated chicken pieces on parchment or wax paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter, then add hot sauce and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, whisking to combine.

Whisk in cornstarch to the sauce until it thickens, then remove from heat and pour into a bowl.

Heat the deep fryer to 350°F and add the chicken pieces to the basket, frying for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and floating.

Fry the chicken in batches, and once all are done, return them to the basket for an additional 3 minutes.

Drain the fried chicken well and toss in the prepared sauce until evenly coated.
