Pour brine to large plastic food storage bag and add the chicken. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Remove chicken from bine and pat dry. Pour buttermilk into a deep bowl. Whisk up dry ingredients and divide mixture between two shallow dishes arranged on either side of the buttermilk. Coat the chicken in flour then buttermilk, shake off excess, then coat in flour again. Set coated pieces on a rack. 
 
Heat oil in a deep Dutch oven to 350° to 360°F. Add chicken in batches and cook 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Place cooked pieces on a metal rack to drain excess oil.

Once all of the chicken has been cooked, fry the rosemary stems. Break fried rosemary into smaller sprigs and arrange with the chicken on a serving platter. Dress chicken with lemon zest and arrange cut lemon wedges amongst the chicken pieces to douse over meat. Pass acacia honey at the table for drizzling.
