Ingredients
Chicken Preparation
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickle slices
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 pieces sandwich buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickle juice (optional, for dipping chicken)
Instructions
- Prepare the coating mixture: In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
- Marinate the chicken: Dip each chicken breast piece in pickle juice to infuse flavor and tenderize, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture until fully coated.
- Heat the oil: Pour oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, ideal for frying the chicken evenly.
- Fry the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the sandwich buns, then layer bottom buns with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, dill pickle slices, and the crispy fried chicken breasts. Optionally, you can drizzle a little pickle juice for extra flavor before topping with the bun lids.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at medium heat to avoid burning the coating while ensuring the chicken cooks through.
- Using pickle juice to marinate not only adds tanginess but also helps tenderize the chicken.
- For extra crunch, double coat the chicken by dipping back into pickle juice and flour mixture before frying.
- Customize the sandwich by adding mayonnaise or mustard if desired.
- If you prefer a healthier option, bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
