- Level Hard
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken Breast
- ¼ cup Pickle Juice
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup Milk
- ½ cup Flour
- 1 Tbs Icing Sugar
- ½ tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
- ¼ tsp Celery Salt
- ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 cup Olive Oil
- 1 Sesame Seed Burger Buns
Method
- Wrap the chicken loosely between plastic wrap and pound gently with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/2 inch thick all around.
- Cut into two pieces, as even as possible.
- Marinate in the pickle juice for 30 minutes to one hour (add a teaspoon of Tabasco sauce now for a spicy sandwich).
- Beat the egg with the milk in a bowl.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and spices in another bowl.
- Dip the chicken pieces each into the egg on both sides, then coat in flour on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a skillet (1/2 inch deep) to about 345-350.
- Fry each cutlet for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
- Blot on paper and serve on toasted buns with pickle slices.
Tips for the best Chick-Fil-A Sandwich
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
- This is a 9-step recipe, so set up your workspace in the order the steps use it.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Do not crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed so everything browns instead of steaming.
Variations
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Swap the chicken for turkey or firm tofu or chickpeas — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
- Fusion twist: keep the method but swap the spices for your own favourites — the United States base takes well to it.
Serving ideas
Dust with icing sugar just before serving and pair with coffee or tea.
