Step 1

Marinate the chicken: combine the pickle juice and water in a ziplock bag. Add the chicken breast halves and marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Make the sauce: Make the Chick-fil-A sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Next, in a large bowl mix the breading ingredients together: flour, powdered sugar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

In another bowl mix the milk, and egg.

Step 5

Add 2-3 cups of oil to a large saucepan and heat oil to about 350 degrees F.

Step 6

Coat the chicken: Dip the marinated chicken into the egg mixture, and then coat in the flour breading mixture. Now "double-dip" by repeating this step and dipping that same chicken tender back into the egg mixture and then back into the flour again!

Step 7

Pan fry: Place chicken in hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towel to dry.

Step 8

Assemble Sandwich: Toast the sandwich buns. Grab the Chick-fil-A sauce and smooth it on both sides of the buns. Top with lettuce, cheese, and crispy chicken! Enjoy!
