Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup dill pickle juice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon baking powder
Vegetable oil for frying
4 brioche buns
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Shredded lettuce
4 slices cheddar cheese
Dill pickle chips
Melted butter for toasting buns
Instructions
Marinate the chicken by combining buttermilk, dill pickle juice, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Submerge chicken breasts in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Prepare the dredging station by mixing all-purpose flour, cornstarch, dried dill weed, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large dish.
Dredge the chicken by removing from marinade, coating it in the flour mixture, and shaking off excess. Optionally double dredge for extra crispiness.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken breasts in hot oil for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Drain chicken on a wire rack lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Make the dill aioli by mixing mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Chill for 30 minutes.
Toast the brioche buns in a skillet with melted butter until golden and crispy.
Assemble the sandwiches with dill aioli on both buns, followed by shredded lettuce, fried chicken, cheddar cheese, and dill pickle chips.
Serve hot for the best flavor experience.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate chicken overnight and consider double dredging for extra crispiness.
