    • Pour the buttermilk into a bowl. Add in the seasoning. Add in the chicken. Cover, chill and marinate for a few hours.
    • Weigh the flour into a bowl. Season it well the salt and pepper, turmeric, smoked paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Heat the oil. Toss the chicken in the flour until it becomes gnarly and well coated.
    • Gently place the chicken in the hot oil and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden brown. At this stage, the chicken will not be cooked through. Place some parchment paper on an oven tray.
    • Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil, drain it on a wire tray and then transfer it to the oven to finish cooking. If using a meat thermometer the internal temperature should be 72?.

    • To Serve: Serve with warm chicken tenders with the baked potatoes, topped with sour cream dressing, garnished with chives and a large bright salad.
