Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness, then cut each into 4 pieces. Marinate the chicken pieces in pickle juice and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and egg. In another bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece first in the flour mixture, then dip into the milk and egg mixture, and return to the flour mixture, coating well.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and cold, cubed butter. Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, then roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
Split the biscuits and place a piece of fried chicken inside each. Serve warm.
