For the buttermilk, mix the milk with lemon juice, let it sit for 10 minutes, and set aside. Mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, white pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Add the chicken and, using a spoon, coat it thoroughly. In a bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the egg. Add the chicken pieces, bay leaves, and marinate for 2 hours. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, cornflakes, and baking powder. Dredge the chicken pieces in this mixture, making sure to cover them well on all sides. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot and accompany with mashed potatoes.
