2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. In a large bowl mix together the buttermilk, hot sauce and salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Add the chicken parts and turn to coat completely. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
5. In a deep heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.

9. Transfer to a baking sheet with a rack and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
