Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken
  1. Combine the chicken breasts with dill pickle juice in a bowl, submerging the chicken completely. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in some breadcrumbs; they should sizzle and rise.
  4. Dredge marinated chicken in the flour, dip into the eggs, and coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Fry the coated chicken in hot oil for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Transfer fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
