Marinate the chicken pieces with buttermilk, salt and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Dredge the chicken into the flour mixture pressing to coat evenly.
Repeat the same with the remaining chicken pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Meanwhile, heat oil for deep frying.
