In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk. The bowl has to be big enough to dip in the chicken pieces in the buttermilk comfortably.

Dust the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, then dip them in the buttermilk, until they are fully coated. Brining the chicken in buttermilk is a mandatory step, which makes the chicken moist.
Spread another layer of flour mixture over the chicken pieces. Make sure that the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated so you have a crispy outer layer.
