Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 6-8 ounces each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Premade or homemade biscuits
- 2 tablespoons (for brushing) Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into two thinner cutlets, creating four pieces total. If the pieces are uneven, lightly pound with a meat mallet for uniform thickness.
Step 2
In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine buttermilk and pickle juice. Submerge the chicken pieces in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
Step 3
In a separate shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Step 4
In another shallow dish, whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Dip each piece into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and finally back into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated chicken pieces on a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes to set the breading.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each piece for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
While the chicken rests, prepare the biscuits according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Once baked, brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
Step 8
To assemble, slice a warm biscuit in half. Place a fried chicken filet on the bottom half, then top with the biscuit lid. Repeat for all servings.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Southern Style Chicken Biscuits!
