Cut the chicken breasts in half and then fillet them to make them thinner.

Pound the chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag to flatten them out without tearing.

Marinate the chicken in pickle juice for about 30 minutes, adding spices like garlic powder, paprika, and white pepper.

Prepare the dry mixture with flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, white pepper, celery salt, garlic powder, and MSG, and mix well.

Make the egg wash by beating one egg and mixing it with 1/4 cup of milk.

Remove the chicken from the brine, dip it in the egg wash, and then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing it down to form clumps.

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 325°F and fry the chicken pieces for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Remove the chicken from the oil and check for doneness; adjust frying time for thicker pieces if necessary.

Butter the hamburger buns and toast them on a hot grill.

Prepare mayonnaise sauce for the sandwiches.
