Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches (Kenji's recipe)

Just like the real thing, this fried chicken is quite salty. If you would like a less salty sandwich, reduce brining time to 1 hour and decrease salt in breading. I use Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If you are using Morton kosher salt, reduce by 25%. If using regular table salt, reduce by 50%

Kosher salt (see note above)

Sugar

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, split horizontally into 4 cutlets

2 teaspoons paprika

2 tablespoons black pepper

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons powdered non-fat milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 quarts peanut oil

8 dill pickle chips
