This Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken recipe offers a delightful twist on classic fried chicken with a tangy pickle juice marinade and a crispy Parmesan breadcrumb coating, making it a flavorful and irresistible dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice

Breading

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Other

  • Cooking oil (for frying, amount as needed)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and dill pickle juice, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the chicken with tangy flavor.
  2. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three bowls: Season the flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the first bowl; whisk the eggs in the second; and mix the seasoned breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.
  3. Preheat the Oil: Heat enough cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat to cover the bottom. Wait until the oil sizzles when a breadcrumb is dropped in, indicating it’s ready for frying.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Remove each chicken breast from the marinade, shaking off excess juice. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mix.
  5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil, frying for 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes to help retain juices and ensure tenderness.
  8. Serve or Store: Serve immediately while warm or allow to cool before storing in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is medium to avoid burning the coating while cooking the chicken through.
  • For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
  • You can substitute the dill pickle juice with regular pickle juice for different flavor variations.
  • Use a food thermometer to confirm the chicken is cooked safely.
  • Leftover chicken can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
