Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Dill pickle juice
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Coconut oil or other frying oil
• 2 cups High-protein biscuit mix
• 0.5 cup Cold butter
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk and pickle juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are submerged, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and again in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 4-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the high-protein biscuits. In a large bowl, cut cold butter into the high-protein biscuit mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

If desired, add shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit mixture for extra flavor.

Step 10

Add enough milk to form a soft dough, typically about 3/4 cup.

Step 11

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Pat or roll the dough out to 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass.

Step 12

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

To serve, split the warm biscuits and fill each with a fried chicken thigh.

Step 14

Optionally, add a slice of cheese or a dab of honey and enjoy your high-protein breakfast!
