Directions:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Place in a plastic zippy bag and add the pickle juice. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- In a large plastic zippy bag, place the flour and seasonings. Seal and mix well.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk well.
- Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed stock-pot over medium-high heat, until oil reaches about 350 degrees F.
- Drain the chicken from the pickle juice.
- Coat the chicken first in the egg mixture, then place in the bag of flour mixture, seal and shake well.
- Remove from the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Gently place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 5-7 minutes.
