How to Make Kinda Like Chick Fil A Sandwiches

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon salt.
  3. Dip each chicken breast (cut into 4 portions if needed) into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully moistened.
  4. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a complete coating.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F). Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  6. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. While the chicken is cooking, lightly butter 4 hamburger buns.
  9. Assemble the sandwiches: Place a fried chicken breast on each bun bottom, top with pickles, and cover with the bun tops.
  10. Serve immediately. Optional: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces for delicious homemade chicken nuggets!
