Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and then cut them in half again to make them thinner.

Wrap each piece of chicken in plastic wrap and flatten them with a mallet.

Place the flattened chicken pieces in a large Ziploc freezer bag.

Pour in about 1/2 cup of pickle juice, remove excess air, and seal the bag.

Refrigerate the chicken for 30 to 60 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk and 1 large egg.

Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and dip each piece first in the egg wash, then in the flour mixture, back in the egg wash, and finally back into the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour each time.

Heat oil in a pan until it reaches 350°F.

Fry the chicken pieces for 3 minutes on each side, then remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Prepare the hamburger rolls by spreading mayonnaise on each side and toasting them face down in a hot pan for 10 to 15 seconds.

To make the sauce, mix together about 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of barbecue sauce, and 2 tablespoons of ketchup.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the sauce on the rolls, adding the fried chicken, and topping with 2 pickles.
