- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Peanut oil
- 12 Sweet Slider Rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the pickle juice and milk. Add the chicken pieces, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Beat the egg in a small bowl.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
In a deep skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the sweet slider rolls on a baking sheet.
Melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted honey butter.
Place the tray of rolls in the oven for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
To assemble, open each warmed roll and place a piece of fried chicken inside.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A Chicken Minis!
