Cut your chicken breast to the desired size for your bun, and then in half so they aren’t as thick. 

Have you ever soaked your chicken in pickle juice? Give it a try to achieve that copycat fast-food taste. Put them in the fridge and let them soak for 3 hours. 

It’s time to pat the chicken dry and season with Spiceology’s Nashville Hot on both sides!

Coat the chicken in the flour/breadcrumb mixture, alternating with your dredge (spike your egg mixture with hot sauce for some added heat).

Keep alternating flour, egg, flour, until the chicken is fully coated. [Expert tip: After going into the flour the first time, make sure you shake off any excess flour to ensure the breading sticks well to the chicken.] 

Fry your chicken in the oil (preheated to 350°), cook for about 4-6 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark. 

If you like your chicken crispy, cook until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°. 

Let’s top off our sandwich with pepper jack cheese, even more pickles, and you guessed it,

A lot of Beer’s BBQ sauce! Enjoy a taste of fast food at home!

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken breasts by cutting them in half. Next, throw all of the chicken into a bowl and cover with pickle juice (2-4 cups of pickle juice). Cover the bowl and let chicken soak in the fridge for 3 hours.
  2. Preheat the oil to 350°.
  3. Remove the chicken and dry off with paper towels. Season chicken lightly with Spiceology’s Nashville Hot.
  4. Whisk together the bread crumbs, flour and seasoning (2-3 tbsp of seasoning).
  5. Mix egg, milk and 1 tbsp of hot sauce in a separate bowl.
  6. The order of coating the chicken will be flour, egg, flour. After going into the flour the first time make sure you shake any loose flour off of the chicken, this will ensure our breading sticks to our chicken the best.
  7. Drop coated chicken into the oil. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, they will be golden brown and reach 165°.
  8. Top with pickles, pepper jack cheese and BBQ sauce.
