Remove chicken from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Popeye’s copycat fried chicken!
Notes
:
For extra crispy chicken, double dip the chicken in the flour mixture after the initial dredging in buttermilk. 
Adjust the level of cayenne pepper to your taste preference for spicier or milder chicken. 
Serve with your favorite sides like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and biscuits for a complete Popeye’s experience!
