Marinate the Chicken in buttermilk for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the Breading ingredients together in a wide bowl.
Remove chicken from buttermilk, press firmly into the Breading mixture to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes to adhere.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove chicken to a wire rack, immediately toss with extra zest and pepper, and assemble on Assembly buns with mayonnaise and lettuce.
