Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 4 cups Peanut oil or suitable frying oil
- 4 store-bought or homemade Biscuits
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. Cut each chicken breast into two pieces, making a total of four pieces, slightly flatten if needed. Submerge the chicken pieces in the pickle juice and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the flour mixture by combining flour, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder in a shallow bowl or container.
In another bowl, mix the milk and egg until well combined. This will be the wet dredge.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, then in the milk and egg mixture, and again in the flour mixture to double coat. Place the coated chicken on a wire rack or parchment-lined baking sheet and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Prepare biscuits as per instructions if using store-bought or prepare homemade biscuits from scratch if desired.
To assemble, slice each biscuit in half and place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with the other half of the biscuit.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
