A delightful crispy chicken sandwich marinated with dill and served with a zesty aioli on toasted brioche.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 ounces each)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 brioche buns, split
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for toasting buns)
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 4-6 cups)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, dill pickle juice, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well blended.
- Submerge the chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes or preferably overnight.
- In a large, shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, dried dill weed, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly.
- Remove a chicken breast from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and coat it in the flour mixture.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. For extra crispiness, you can double dredge if desired.
- Pour vegetable oil into a large pot and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place chicken into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes per side.
- Remove the fried chicken and transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Season and chill.
- Brush melted butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast.
- Spread dill aioli onto both buns, assemble sandwiches with lettuce, fried chicken, cheddar cheese, and pickle chips.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
