Fill a heavy pot with about 3/4-1 inch of peanut oil. Heat on medium-high heat.
Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chipotle chili pepper, and salt and pepper to a bowl.
Make the sauce (see recipe here). I suggest making it a few hours prior to making these sandwiches as it'll thicken up and the flavors will meld together more.
Place chicken in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Marinate for six hours (overnight is fine, don't exceed 24 hours).
Butterfly chicken breasts and cut in half lengthwise so you're left with four thinner cutlets.
