Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Peanut oil (for frying)
- 2 Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 Dill pickle slices
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch and cut each breast in half to create four sandwich-sized pieces of chicken.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk and egg to make the wet batter.
In another shallow bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to make the dry coating mixture.
Dip each chicken piece into the milk and egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Repeat this process for extra crispiness by dipping the chicken back into the milk mixture and coating it again in the flour mixture.
Heat the peanut oil in a deep pot or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the fried chicken and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the chicken is resting, lightly butter the insides of the burger buns and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a fried chicken piece on the bottom bun, topping it with two dill pickle slices, and finishing with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich!
