Almost Famous Chicken Sandwich

This is a Chic-fil-a copycat recipe

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and ground pepper
1 tsp paprika
Peanut oil- for frying
1 large egg
1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. all- purpose flour
1/4 c. whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
sour pickle slices
4 hamburger buns
1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened


Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Place the cutlets between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/8 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and paprika.

Heat about 2 inches peanut oil in a heavy- bottomed pot over medium heat until 325 degrees F. Mean while, whisk the egg, milk and 2 tablespoons water in a baking dish. Whisk both flours, confectioners sugar, baking soda, dry mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another dish.

working in batches, dip the chicken in the egg mixture, turning to coat, then dredge in the four mixture and shake off any excess. Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the butter and lightly toast in the skillet, buttered side down; spread with more butter. put 2 pickel slices on each bun bottom; top with a piece of chicken and cover with the bun tops. YummO!
