Instructions
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a small bowl, mix salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture and set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
In another shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Next, dip chicken into the egg wash, coating thoroughly.
Finally, dip chicken back into the flour mixture, pressing to ensure even coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken from oil and let it drain on paper towels.
While chicken is resting, butter the insides of the hamburger buns lightly.
Toast the buttered buns on a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by placing fried chicken on the bottom bun.
Top each chicken breast with 2 dill pickle slices and close with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade spicy chicken sandwich!
