Ingredients
- batter
- 6 chicken tenderloins cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place cut chicken pieces into a bowl with pickle juice. Cover with plastic wrap and let this brine in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
- In a mixing bowl, add milk and egg, whisking together until combined. Let the chicken marinate for an hour. Remove from the pickle juice and transfer in the milk mixture bowl.
- In a large ziploc bag, add flour, powdered sugar, paprika, pepper and salt. Seal and mix these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
- Prepare a frying pan with oil and heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place each chicken piece coated in the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Seal the bag again and shake up the chicken, coating each piece fully with flour.
- Once the oil is hot, shake off each chicken piece of excess coating, and place into the frying pan.
- Cook for 10 minutes, until the outside of the chicken turns golden brown.
- Remove from the frying pan and let the excess oil drip off on a paper towel covered plate.
- Serve while still warm with fries and your desired sauce.
