Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs diced into bite sized pieces
1 cup pickle brine
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons seasoning salt I like Johnny's
1 cup canola oil

Instructions

Place the chicken pieces and pickle juice in a resealable plastic bag (or other non-reactive) container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
In a bowl beat egg and milk together.
In a large plastic bag combine flour, baking power and salt. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg and milk. Then place in the seasoned flour and shake until nicely coated. Let set in the flour for about 10 minutes while you heat the oil.
In a large pot heat about 1/2 inch of oil to 350 degrees. Once hot, shake the excess flour off of the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. You may need to do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Once chicken is cooked use a slotted spoon to transfer the pieces to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with a little more seasoning salt if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
