Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1 ½ cups milk divided
  • 1 cup peanut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

  • 4 hamburger buns split

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed.
  2. In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and 1/2 cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  4. In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture.
  5. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners' sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  7. Serve chicken immediately on burger buns with green leaf lettuce, tomato and pickles.
