Making Fried Chicken Street Corn Taco is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Seasoned Flour: In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour until fully coated.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare the Corn Salsa: In a bowl, combine corn, Cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
7. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and chili powder. Adjust seasoning as needed.
8. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
9. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, place a piece of fried chicken, top with corn salsa, and drizzle with the sauce.
