Sunday Chick-fil-A sandwich, pickle-brined

Closed on Sunday, open in your kitchen

The pickle brine is doing more work than the breading.

Ingredients

• Two boneless thighs
• Dill pickle juice, milk, egg
• Flour, powdered sugar, paprika, black pepper, cayenne
• Soft buttered buns, pickle chips

Method

1. Brine the chicken in pickle juice for a few hours.
2. Dip in milk-egg, then the seasoned flour. Rest ten minutes so the crust sticks.
3. Fry or air-fry until the crust rattles. Steam the buns with a pat of butter.

Two pickles only. That is the house rule.
