Chick Fil A Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Description
The preparation begins by cutting chicken breasts into smaller portions and soaking them in dill pickle juice to tenderize and add subtle tang. After marination, the chicken is coated by dipping into an egg and milk wash, then dredged in a seasoned flour mixture with spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This coating creates a crisp exterior that contrasts the tender interior once fried in peanut or canola oil until golden. The frying time aims just long enough to cook through without drying the chicken.
These sandwiches are assembled on hamburger buns with dill pickles, delivering a balance of spice, crispy texture, and acidity from the pickles. The spice level is achieved through cayenne and paprika, making the chicken distinctly piquant.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- peanut oil or canola oil; for frying
- 4 Hamburger Bun
- 16 dill pickles
Instructions
- Filet the chicken breasts into 4 pieces of chicken and trim off any excess fat.
- Combine the chicken and 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 small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Then pour this mixture over the chicken pieces.
- Then in a large ziplock bag, add the flour, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. 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.
- Then serve on the hamburger buns with the dill pickles and enjoy!
