Steps:

1. BUTTERMILK BRINE Rinse chicken and cut away excess fat. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon seasoning salt to buttermilk. Soak chicken in buttermilk mixture (in refrigerator) for 8 hours.
2. BATTER Combine flour, seasoning salt, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, Hungarian paprika, and garlic powder in a large freezer bag; set aside.
3. Once chicken has soaked for at least 8 hours remove from refrigerator. Remove pieces from buttermilk and shake excess buttermilk off; add a few pieces at a time to flour mixer. Coat pieces well in flour mixer; remove and place on a wire rack. Allow battered pieces to air dry for 30 to 40 minutes. This allows the chicken to come to room temperature, which helps it to cook evenly once in the oil and by allowing some of the moisture to dry out, your chicken will fry up crispier.
4. FRY Fry at 370 to 375 degrees in peanut oil until a nice golden brown on both sides. NOTE: I used Peanut oil because it will not burn like other oils sometimes do. Don't over crowd your pan.

3. Put skillet on medium high heat; add canola oil about 1 inch deep.

6. Place several nuggets in the bag of flour, shake to thoroughly coat all sides.
7. Shake each piece to remove loose flour.
8. Place chicken in the hot oil; being careful not to over crowd the pan.
9. Let chicken fry until just golden brown and crispy, then turn and let second side get golden brown, being careful when turning not to break the buttermilk crust.
10. Check to make sure heat is not too high and chicken does not brown to fast.
11. Turn pieces over once more and cook a few minutes longer until crust is crisped.
12. If crust on the sides of the breast is still soft and mushy, turn those pieces on their side in the oil for a minute or two so they can fry up crisp.
13. Place the nuggets on paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
