Cajun Aioli

1. Mix all ingredients to combine. Hold refrigerated for Service.

Prep

1. In a bowl, whisk first amount of buttermilk and first amount of Seasoning to blend. Add chicken and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and second amount of Seasoning. Stir in second amount of buttermilk. Blend flour mixture with clean hands until mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour mixture, squeezing the flour mixture onto the chicken to create a thick coating on both sides. Place on a clean rack and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate. Hold refrigerated for service.
