Instructions

In a wide, shallow bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, onion, jalapeño, salt, and Tabasco.
Add chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 250°F.
Set cooling racks over rimmed baking sheets.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated garlic, onion powder, thyme, sage, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
In a large pot, pour in enough oil to come up to 2 inches.
Set over medium-high heat until oil registers 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer.
Working in batches of 4 to 5 pieces, remove chicken from marinade, shaking to remove any vegetables and excess liquid, and dredge in the seasoned flour.
Fry chicken pieces, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes total per batch.
Transfer chicken to wire racks and warm in oven while frying remaining batches.
Serve chicken fingers with ranch dressing, if desired.
