Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Peanut oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Pickle slices
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Marinate the chicken breasts in the pickle juice for at least 30 minutes to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg to create the wet batter.
In another bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken breast into the milk and egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure even coverage.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the peanut oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Melt the butter and brush it onto the top and bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
Toast the buttered buns in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a fried chicken breast onto the bottom half of each bun, top with pickle slices, and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A style chicken sandwich!
