Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper; place them in a deep-sided baking dish.

Whisk buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper together in a large bowl; pour over chicken, tossing to coat all sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture; shake off excess. Discard remaining buttermilk mixture.
