Preparation

Step 1

Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed.

In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and 1/2 cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners' sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

When you make your restaurant favorites at home, you have full control over the ingredients. I used a whole wheat bun to calculate the nutrition information, which added 3g of fiber. You can also stuff your burger with more lettuce and tomatoes than what the restaurant gives you!

You can add about 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste) for a spicy sandwich.
