Preheat peanut oil to 350°F in a heavy-bottomed skillet or dutch oven, with at least 3 inches of oil. Do not overfill.

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup water, and 1/4 cup buffalo sauce. Set aside.

Season chicken pieces on all sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Set aside.
4
In another large bowl, mix 2 cups self-rising flour and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper together.
5
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
6
Coat chicken pieces with the flour mixture on all sides, shaking off any excess flour.
7
Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.
8
Fry dark meat for 13-14 minutes and white meat for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through if needed for even browning.

Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
10
Remove fried chicken from oil and let it drain on a sheet tray topped with a wire rack to maintain crispiness.

Sprinkle fried chicken with additional kosher salt to taste and serve warm.
