Copycat chick fil a sandwich
Description
This recipe starts by slicing chicken breasts into portions and marinating them in dill pickle juice, imparting a distinctive tang and tenderizing the meat. After marination, the chicken is drained and coated with an egg and milk wash, then dredged in a flour mix containing confectioners’ sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This flour blend provides a sweet and spiced crust.
Frying the chicken pieces in peanut or canola oil at medium heat until golden brown produces a crispy exterior and juicy interior. The sandwich is assembled on hamburger buns with dill pickle slices, replicating the iconic flavor combination. The method emphasizes coating the chicken thoroughly for an even, flavorful crust.
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
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- peanut oil or canola oil; for frying
- 4 Hamburger Bun
- 16 dill pickles for serving
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.
- Then in a large ziplock bag, add the flour, sugar, paprika, 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.
- Serve immediately while warm on the hamburger buns topped with the dill pickles and enjoy!
