For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the pickle brine. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking. Use a thermometer to monitor. Don't overcrowd the fryer; cook the chicken in batches to maintain oil temperature and crispness. Brioche buns add a touch of richness that complements the savory chicken perfectly. Experiment with different spices in the flour mixture to customize the flavor profile to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. (5 minutes)
02
StepMarinate: Cut each breast in half. Submerge in pickle brine for 1 hour in the refrigerator. (60 minutes)
03
StepSpice Blend: Whisk together flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, celery salt, and basil in a shallow dish. (5 minutes)
04
StepEgg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined. (2 minutes)

StepDredge Chicken: Remove chicken from brine, rinse, and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture, then egg wash, then back into the flour mixture for an extra-crispy coating. (10 minutes)
06
StepFry Chicken: Heat peanut oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large skillet. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 2-3 minutes per side. (10-15 minutes)
07
StepRest Chicken: Place fried chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and maintain crispness. (5 minutes)
08
StepToast Buns: Lightly butter the cut sides of the buns and toast in a skillet until golden brown. (3 minutes)
