recipe notes
STEPS
Slice chicken breasts into 1/2" pieces.
Marinate in pickle juice for 30 minutes to an hour.
Beat together the egg and the milk in a bowl.
Mix together the flour, sugar, and spices in another bowl.
With a fork, take each piece of chicken and dip in the egg mixture so covered. Then dip chicken into the flour mixture and fully coat. Place onto a plate.
Heat the oil in a skillet until it is 350 degrees (so it gets crunchy).
Fry each piece of chicken for 2 minutes on each side, until brown, crunchy, and cooked through.
Place cooked pieces on paper towel and blot the tops to remove oil.
