Steps:
- Whisk together buttermilk, mustard, salt and pepper, and cayenne in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in the other plastic bag. Shake to mix thoroughly. Transfer one marinated chicken piece at a time into the dry ingredient bag, and shake well to ensure complete coverage. After all chicken pieces are coated, repeat the process by dipping them in the buttermilk marinade and shaking in the dry coating again.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn the oil. When oil is hot, fry chicken in batches until golden brown and juices run clear, turning chicken to brown evenly.

When all pieces are coated, dip each piece, one at a time again, into buttermilk and toss again in flour mixture, remove and set in back into baking pan.

Steps:
- Put all the dry brine ingredients in a large dish. Add the chicken, toss to coat well, then cover and chill for 12-24 hrs.
- Put all the spiced flour ingredients in another dish or a large bowl, add a good grind of black pepper and combine well.
- Put the buttermilk and egg in another bowl and lightly whisk until well combined.
- Start to coat the chicken. Using one hand, dip the pieces in the buttermilk, making sure they are completely coated.
- Using your other hand, roll the chicken in the spiced flour until covered all over.
- Place the chicken on a wire rack with a baking tray underneath. Now you're ready to start frying.
- Fill a deep cast-iron frying pan or heavy- based medium saucepan half full with oil and heat until the temperature reaches 170C on a cooking thermometer. Put a wire rack on a second tray, ready to drain the fried chicken.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Place 3-4 pieces of chicken into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 10-12 mins. Poke your thermometer into the meat next to the bone - it will be cooked when it reaches 73C.
- The oil temperature will drop when you add the chicken - adjust the heat to keep it steady at 140C during the cooking process. Once cooked, transfer to the clean wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Bring the oil back to 170C before cooking the next batch. Serve with your choice of sides.

Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to coat the chicken breasts evenly in the buttermilk mixture. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy chicken.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will allow it to cook through evenly.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk battered chicken breast with sweet corn sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the sweet corn sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
