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 tablespoon Confectioners' Sugar

1 teaspoon Paprika

1 teaspoon Pepper

1 teaspoon Salt

Peanut Oil Or Canola Oil For frying

Equipment

Paper Towels

Large pan

Large bowl

Medium bowl

Whisk

Large ziplock bag

Instructions

Combine 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1‑inch pieces and 1 cup of pickle juice in a medium size bowl. Cover and refrigerate to marinate the chicken in the pickle juice for 30-60 minutes (or overnight).

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain off the pickle juice.

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup milk until fully combined. Then pour this mixture over the chicken pieces.

Then in a large ziplock bag, combine 1 cup all‑purpose flour, 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and shake to combine all the ingredients.

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!
