A perfectly golden, crispy chicken breast nestled between two soft buns, topped with tangy dill pickles and creamy sauce for a satisfying crunch in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Sliced dill pickles
  • 4 brioche buns
  • Mayonnaise or sandwich sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the dill pickle juice over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Set up the dredging station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In a second bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  4. Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  5. Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a pinch of breadcrumbs into it—if they sizzle, it’s ready.
  6. Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Toast the brioche buns if desired. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each bun, add a fried chicken breast, and top with sliced dill pickles. Add the top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the marinade as the dill pickle juice adds flavor and keeps the chicken juicy.’, ‘Pat the chicken dry to ensure the breading adheres properly.’, ‘Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).’, ‘Keep the oil temperature consistent to avoid burning the coating.’, ‘Toast the buns for added crunch and to prevent sogginess.’]
