🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by taking 1/2 cup of pickle juice and add 1/4 cup of plain water. Stir the mixture.

Cut 2 large chicken breasts in half to create 4 pieces. Dip the chicken into the pickle juice mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Stir to mix well.

Cover the chicken and marinate in the fridge for no more than 20 minutes.

Prepare the breading by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon if using powder), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix all ingredients together.

Crack open 1 medium-sized egg and whisk it until frothy. Add 1/2 cup of milk and mix together.

After 20 minutes, remove the marinated chicken from the fridge. Dip each piece into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, applying pressure to ensure the flour adheres properly. Repeat the egg wash and flour coating process one more time.

Heat peanut oil in a pan for deep frying. Gently drop the chicken into the hot oil.

Deep fry the chicken at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Toast the buns. Assemble the sandwich by adding pickles, lettuce, a slice of tomato, the fried chicken, and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.
