Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor the perfect homemade version of your fast food favorite!
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup dill pickle juice
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Peanut oil or canola oil, for frying
Method:
Marinate the chicken:
Place the chicken pieces and pickle juice in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
Prep the egg wash:
Drain the pickle juice. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Pour over the chicken pieces and stir to coat.
Mix the dry coating:
In a large ziplock bag, combine the flour, sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to mix.
Coat the chicken:
Drain the chicken from the egg wash and place the pieces in the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake well until evenly coated.
Fry until golden:
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken for 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
