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
Instructions
- 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.
- Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
- Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
- Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
- Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
- 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.
