Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup pickle juice
- 1 piece large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 liter oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cut each breast into two pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and pickle juice. Submerge the chicken pieces in this mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
Add the milk to the flour mixture, gently stirring until dough forms. Knead lightly and roll out on a floured surface to about 3/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Cut the dough using a round biscuit cutter and place biscuits on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, then set aside to cool.
Step 7
Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge. In a shallow dish, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, and smoked paprika.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
Step 9
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
Step 11
Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 12
To assemble, slice each biscuit in half, place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half, and cover with the top half. Serve warm, optionally with honey or your favorite condiments.
