Marinate the chicken in buttermilk and lemon juice for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Remove chicken from marinade and let excess liquid drip off.

Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture until well coated, shaking off excess flour.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes per batch.

Remove chicken and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
