Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for maximum flavor.
In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to create a thick crust.
Place coated chicken pieces on a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken pieces from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fried chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
