Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- kosher salt
- pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- peanut oil for frying (at least 2 inches to cover the bottom of a pan)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon malted milk powder
- 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 Tablespoon pickle juice optional
- 4 soft hamburger buns split
- Chick Fil A Sauce
Instructions
- Pound each chicken breast to be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. This will help them to fry easier. Season chicken with 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp each of paprika and pepper. Set chicken aside.
- In a heavy bottom pan, heat 2 inches of peanut oil over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 325 degrees, or until small drops of water sizzle and evaporate.
- While the oil is heating, whisk the egg, milk, pickle juice* (if using) and 2 T water in a baking dish. Then whisk both flours, the malted milk powder, confectioners sugar, baking soda, dry mustard, the remaining 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another dish.
- Dip the chicken first in the egg mixture.
- Then dredge in the flour mixture coating completely.
- Fry the chicken in the hot oil until brown about 4 minutes, adjusting the heat if needed. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve on lightly toasted buns with desired toppings and Chick Fil A Sauce. Pickles, lettuce, and even a slice of cheese!
