Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Submerge the chicken breasts in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to marinate.
In a medium shallow dish, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and whole milk.
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil. Fry each piece for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Lightly butter the hamburger buns and toast them in a pan until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with a lettuce leaf and tomato slices, then close with the top half of the bun.
Serve the sandwiches hot and enjoy!
