Prepare buttermilk by mixing 1 cup of buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of Chinese salt and 2 teaspoons of plain salt to the buttermilk and mix well.

Cut chicken breasts into halves lengthwise and marinate them in the buttermilk mixture for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.

Prepare the coating by mixing 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of Chinese salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder in a bowl.

Remove chicken from the marinade and let it drain on paper towels to ensure it is dry.

Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated on both sides.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the buns by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half and placing the fried chicken on top.

Serve the chicken burgers with your choice of toppings.
