HOW TO MAKE CHICK-FIL-A

Start by preparing the brine for the chicken.

Add 2 cups of water to a bowl.

Add 4 cups of pickle juice to the water.

Mix in 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of salt.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of MSG and 1/4 cup of olive oil to the brine.

Cut the chicken into pieces and place them into the brine.

Let the chicken brine for 2 hours.

Prepare the breading mixture by combining 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of dry evaporated milk in a bowl.

Whisk the dry ingredients together.

Coat the brined chicken first in the spice mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, bringing some egg mixture with it to create crunchy bread chunks.

Fry the chicken for 6 minutes until the breading is golden brown and crispy.
