Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 store-bought or homemade Non-dairy biscuits
- for frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally, creating four thin cutlets.
In a bowl, combine pickle juice and almond milk. Add apple cider vinegar to the mixture to create a buttermilk substitute, and stir well.
Submerge the chicken cutlets in the milk mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for more flavor.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly covered.
In a deep skillet, heat about 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken cutlets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet. Cook each cutlet for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is frying, heat the non-dairy biscuits according to package instructions or recipe.
Once the chicken is done, let it drain on a wire rack or paper towel to remove excess oil.
Assemble the biscuit by placing a fried chicken cutlet between the two halves of a warm biscuit. Repeat for all servings.
Serve immediately while the biscuits and chicken are hot, and enjoy your dairy-free Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
