Fried Chicken Sandwich image

These are pretty darn close to those Chick-fil-A sandwiches found in the mall food court. I like to make them on Sundays. Serve with waffle fries!

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
12 dill pickle slices, with brine
peanut oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon salt
paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon dried basil
2 large eggs
milk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
6 sandwich buns

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness. Cut each breast in half and place in a bowl. Pour pickle brine on top and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, celery salt, and basil in a bowl.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl.
  • Drain liquid from the chicken and rinse off briefly. Shake any excess liquid from chicken.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg-milk mixture, then coat again with the flour. Dip each piece again, if desired.
  • Deep-fry chicken, 3 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Let chicken rest on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet for 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, lightly butter each sandwich bun and toast them in a skillet.
  • Add 2 pickle slices to the bottom of each bun, then a chicken piece, then top with the other bun. Repeat to make remaining sandwiches.
