Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast butterflied
- 2 cups pickle juice (total juice from 32 oz pickle chips jar)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- peanut oil for frying
- 4 hamburger brioche buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 hamburger dill pickle chips

Instructions
- Add chicken to a large mixing bowl with pickle juice. Cover and place inside the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
- When done, drain chicken breast and pat dry.
- Add oil to a large stovetop pan and allow it to heat up.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the milk, egg and hot sauce.
- In another medium, shallow bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Mix well.
- When your oil is heated, dunk each butterflied chicken breast into the egg mixture covering well.
- Shake off any excess and dunk into flour mixture, covering completely. Work each piece through one at a time.
- Carefully drop each piece of chicken into the oil and allow it to fry on either side for 3 to 4 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Repeat for each piece
- Add butter and buns to a separate skillet over low-medium heat to toast.
- Assemble your sandwich toasted bun first. Top with lettuce, tomato, chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, pickle, and top bun.

Notes
- Be sure you don’t get your oil too hot. Otherwise your breading will burn before your chicken cooks. Test a small piece before frying an entire breast.
- This recipe works best with a breast butterflied. The chicken will expand while cooking so an entire breast may be too large to use.
- After breading the chicken, be prepared to fry it in the oil immediately. You don’t want the chicken to sit breaded. Otherwise, the flour will absorb.
