Prep Time: 30 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 50 mins

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks

• 1 cup dill pickle juice

• ½ cup whole milk

• 1 cup all purpose flour

• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs

• 3 tbsp powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 2 tsp salt

• 2 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp black pepper

• peanut oil* (see note), for frying (at least 1" deep)

Instructions

1. Start by placing your chicken in a large zip close bag and adding in the pickle juice and milk. Smoosh around to get all the chicken coated and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile heat at least an inch deep of oil to 350 degrees F.

3. Combine the flour, breadcrumbs, powdered sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

4. Drain the marinade from the chicken and discard. Dip each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, coating completely, and then carefully add to the fryer.

5. Cook in small batches so you do not decrease the temperature of the oil.

6. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is a deep golden brown, then place chicken on a wire cooling rack to cool slightly. Keep cooking until all chicken is done. Enjoy!

Notes

*Peanut oil will give you the iconic flavor of Chick Fil A chicken, but you can also use canola oil or vegetable oil if necessary.
