Start by placing 3 chicken breasts in a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 cup of pickle juice to the chicken.

3

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1/2 cup of milk to create an egg wash.

5

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne pepper (optional).

6

Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let excess liquid drip off.

Dunk each chicken breast in the egg wash, then coat in the dry mixture, using one hand for wet and one for dry.

Place the breaded chicken on a drying rack.

Heat oil in a stainless steel pan on medium-low until it reaches between 325°F and 375°F.
