Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour enough dill pickle juice over the chicken to fully submerge it. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to up to 2 hours.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare your breading station: one dish with seasoned flour, another with whisked eggs, and a third with seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
  3. After marinating, gently remove the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge in seasoned flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the base, about 1/2 inch deep, over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  5. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving hot.
