Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice (use dill pickles, great way to use up that empty jar!)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon msg (Accent, leave it out if you prefer)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- peanut oil
Preparation
Step 1
1
Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
2
Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
3
Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
4
Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
5
Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
6
Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.
