Begin by halving each chicken breast ( as evenly as possible for even cooking)
Along with one cup of water, add halved chicken breasts and pickle juice to a sandwich bag or bowl and brine the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While chicken is brining, prepare chic-fil-a sauce. Blend sauce ingredients well and set aside for final step.
Prepare the breading. Whisk all dry breading ingredients together and set aside for frying. ***NOTE*** The extra cayenne pepper is for a spicy version of this sandwich! adjust as needed.
Prepare a wet batter for the chicken breasts. Blend milk and egg well and set aside.
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat frying oil to high heat (350 degrees F).
Begin coating each chicken breast . Start by dredging the chicken (one at a time!) in the wet batter (milk and egg mixture) and then moving to breading mixture (flour and seasoning). Repeat this process once more for each chicken breast and set aside for frying
Fry each piece of chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temp of each piece reaches 165 degrees (F).
Set fried chicken breast to rest for 5 minutes, then assemble each sandwich with lettuce, tomato slices pickles and cheese (as desired) Don't forget that sauce! And Enjoy!
