Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a nonreactive baking pan.
Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large plastic bag and shake to mix thoroughly.
Shake the chicken pieces one at a time with the seasoned flour in the bag until well coated.
