Ingredients Method Notes

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 Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Peanut Oil or Canola Oil for Frying

Method
 

  1. Place chicken pieces in a medium bowl and cover with dill pickle juice, then chill in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes or longer for more flavor.
  2. After marinating, remove the chicken and pour off the pickle juice.
  3. In a separate small bowl, beat together the egg and milk, then pour this over the chicken, coating well.
  4. Inside a large resealable bag, combine the flour, confectioners’ sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper; seal and shake well to mix.
  5. Shake off excess liquid from the chicken pieces and add them to the flour mixture bag; seal tightly and toss until all pieces are coated evenly.
  6. Heat peanut or canola oil in a skillet or deep fryer over medium heat until hot.
  7. Fry the chicken in batches for about 3 to 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crisp; then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  8. Serve them hot right away alongside your favorite dipping sauces for a perfect snack or meal.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. Use peanut oil for a richer flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for crispiness.
