Wash and clean chicken with lemon and vinegar, trim off any extra fat and pat dry with paper towel.
In a medium size bowl, add chicken, buttermilk, salt, white pepper. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes – 2 hours, more time the better.
Heat 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large pot to 350 degrees.
In a wide bowl, add flour, onion powder, garlic, paprika, Tony’s seasoning, set to the side.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and dip each piece in the flour mixture until well coated. Fry two piece of chicken at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Rest the cooked chicken on a rack to cool.
Make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a small pot. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes and let it cool. Enjoy!
