Time 1h20m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup pickle juice
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 egg
6 cups peanut oil
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
2 tablespoons butter, melted
8 pickle chips from 1 jar of pickle chips (16oz)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together wet ingredients, add chicken, making sure to coat evenly. Allow chicken to marinate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium sized pot, over medium-high, heat oil to 350°F While oil heats, in a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  • Reserving the marinade, remove the chicken to a plate. Whisk the egg into the marinade. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, one piece at a time, shaking off excess egg mixture. Dredge chicken piece in flour mix, making sure to coat evenly on both sides. Repeat the breading process (egg mixture to flour mix) one more time, set chicken aside. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Once oil is heated, cook chicken until golden brown on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes a side. Chicken should be opaque in the center. Place cooked chicken on prepared baking sheet to drain.
  • Brush toasted buns with butter, place two pickle slices on each bun and top with chicken.

Tips:

  • Prep the Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a tender and juicy marinade. You can cut them into strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
  • Choose the Right Marinade Ingredients: The marinade is what gives Chick-fil-A chicken its signature flavor. Use a combination of zesty lemon juice, aromatic rosemary and thyme, savory garlic and onion powders, a touch of sweetness from honey, and a hint of smokiness from paprika.
  • Marinate for Flavor: Allow the chicken to soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Coat with Seasoning: After marinating, coat the chicken in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper. This coating helps to create a crispy exterior and lock in the juiciness of the chicken.
  • Cook to Perfection: Finally, cook the chicken in your preferred method, whether it's pan-frying, grilling, or baking. Make sure to cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and optimal flavor.

Conclusion:

With these tips and tricks, you can easily recreate the delicious taste of Chick-fil-A chicken at home. It's a perfect way to enjoy a healthier and more affordable version of your favorite fast-food meal. Experiment with different marinade variations to find your perfect flavor combination. Happy cooking!
