Ingredients:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Dill Pickle Juice
• large Egg
• Milk
• All Purpose Flour
• Confectioner’s Sugar
• Paprika
• Cayennepepper
• salt and pepper
• Peanut Oil or Canola Oil for Frying
• Hamburger Buns
• dill pickles

How to make Chick-fil-a Spicy Chicken Sandwich at home:

• First, filet the chicken breasts into 4 pieces of chicken. Make sure to trim off any excess fat.

• Then, combine the chicken and pickle juice in a medium bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate the chicken in the pickle juice. It needs to sit at least 30 to 60 minutes or overnight.

• Next, remove the chicken from the fridge and drain off the pickle juice.

• Get out a small bowl and whisk together the milk and egg. Pour this mixture over the chicken pieces.

• Use a large ziplock bag and add the flour mix, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Sometimes, I also add garlic powder. Make sure the bag is sealed tightly and shake.

• Then, drain the excess milk mixture off the chicken. Put the chicken in the ziplock bag with the flour mixture and seal tightly. Shake the bag to coat the chicken pieces.

• Finally, heat the peanut oil or canola oil in a large pan over medium heat. You can also use a fryer.

• Start by adding some of the chicken to the hot oil. Let this cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. This only needs about 3 to 5 minutes.

• Put the cooked chicken on a plate. Make sure to line it with a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.

Serve on the hamburger buns with the dill pickles slices. You might also like to serve with lettuce tomatoes.

How to store leftovers:

Place chicken inside an airtight container. Place in the fridge up to 5 to 7 days.

What to serve with spicy chick fil a sandwich:

• Ranch dressing or Copycat Chick-fil-a-sauce

• Copycat Chick-Fil-A Mac and Cheese Recipe

• Copycat Chick fil a Lemonade.

What Is The Best Oil For Fried Chicken:

You want to use an oil that has a high smoke point. Some examples include peanut oil or canola oil.

Using this type of oil will help to prevent the chicken from browning too fast before the inside is done.

Variation for copycat chick fil a spicy chicken sandwich:

• Bake the chicken for a healthier alternative. Bake at 450 using a baking sheet for 30 minutes. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet to help make the chicken crispy.
  I suggest flipping about halfway.

• Adjust the seasoning. If you like an even spicier chicken sandwich, add more paprika and cayenne pepper to suit your taste. You can also add hot sauce.

• Reduce the pickle juice. If you do not care for this flavor, reduce the amount to ½ cup and combine with ½ cup water.

Your family will love this.
