- Make the ranch: Whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, hot sauce, and pink peppercorns in a medium bowl. Season with salt and chill at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
- Make the chicken fingers: Cut the chicken lengthwise into ¾-inch wide strips.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, 2 tablespoons of salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk the milk and egg until combined.
- Dredge the chicken fingers in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and then back into the seasoned flour. Set aside on a baking sheet.
- Heat about ½-inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken fingers, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Dust in edible glitter and serve with fries and the ranch.
