Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup pickle juice
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 4 chicken breasts
• 4 brioche hamburger buns
• 4 oz. Classic Dill Pickle Chips
• 16 oz. Classic Coleslaw
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1.5 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp. cracked black pepper
• 2 eggs, large
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

• Place 1 cup of pickle juice, buttermilk, and chicken breasts in a bowl or large resealable bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Allow to marinate 2-6 hours for best flavor.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with the spices and seasonings. In a separate bowl, add the eggs and remaining pickle juice and stir to combine.
• Heat oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade.
• Dredge each chicken breast in the pickle-egg mixture, and then cover it in the flour. When fully coated, place chicken in the hot oil to fry.
• Cook each chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until each piece has been cooked through. Drain each breast of excess oil on a wire rack or paper-towel lined plate.
• Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then top with fried chicken breast, coleslaw, pickles, and the top bun.
• Enjoy!
