What goes in
✳Tap as you measure. A little less to keep in your head.
Let’s make it
one step at a time- 01
Combine the chicken with pickle juice and ½ cup milk or buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- 02
In one bowl, whisk together the egg and ¼ cup milk. In another, thoroughly mix the breading ingredients.
- 03
Drain the chicken from the marinade. Dip each piece in the egg wash, then coat well in the flour mixture.
- 04
For extra crunch, press the flour on firmly or dip again in egg wash and flour.
- 05
Heat the frying oil to 350–360°F.
- 06
Fry in small batches for 3–5 minutes, until golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 07
Drain on a rack or paper towels.
That’s a good thing made.
Enjoy every bite.
