Add all spices to a food processor and pulse until blended.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and spices. In a second bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg and whisk until combined.
Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for about 10 minutes. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Remove chicken from buttermilk and allow excess to drip off, then place chicken in the flour batter and make sure all sides are thickly coated. Place the coated pieces on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Allow the pieces to rest for 10 to 20 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a pan or pot with sides at least 5 inches high. Heat oil to 350 degrees and once heated, fry the chicken in small batches for 15-18 minutes. Replace parchment paper or foil and place a cooling rack on top of baking sheet.
Remove the chicken from the oil and cool on the cooling rack. Be aware if you cool the chicken on a paper towel, the bottom might remain soggy. If you cool the chicken on a wire rack, the chicken will stay crispy! Enjoy!
