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 Confectioner’s Sugar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- Peanut Oil or Canola Oil for Frying
Instructions
- Place 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces in a medium bowl. Pour 1 cup dill pickle juice over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes or up to overnight.
- Drain the pickle juice from the chicken and discard the marinade.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup milk. Pour the milk mixture over the chicken pieces and stir to coat.
- In a large zip-top bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake to combine the flour mixture.
- Drain the excess milk mixture off the chicken and place the chicken in the ziplock bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and then shake to thoroughly coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
- Then heat the peanut oil or canola oil in a large pan over medium heat or in a fryer.
- Working in batches, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy (approximately 3-5 minutes). Once cooked, move the chicken to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
- Serve immediately while warm with your favorite dipping sauces!
