Prepare slaw: Toss onion, jalapeno, cabbage, pickles and pickle juice in a large bowl to combine. (additional juice may be added if the mixture seems too dry.) Cover and chill.
3
Prepare fried chicken: Whisk flour with black and cayenne peppers and salt in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into another shallow bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge again in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
