Marinate chicken in pickle juice for at least 30 minutes (preferably a few hours).

Cut marinated chicken into nugget-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 and 1/2 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of paprika, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 teaspoons of pepper.

Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 cup of buttermilk.

Dip chicken pieces into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture for coating.

Place the coated chicken pieces on parchment paper to let them set for a few minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350°F until it starts to smoke.

Fry the chicken nuggets in the hot oil, flipping them occasionally until they are golden brown.

Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
