Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate Chicken: Place your chicken in a bowl or zip-top bag. Pour in dill pickle juice to fully submerge. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This step is crucial for optimal crispiness.
  3. Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and black pepper. Whisk until even.
  4. Coat Chicken: After marinating, pat the chicken dry. Dredge each piece in the panko mixture, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake Chicken: Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place coated chicken and brush with olive oil or melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill or parsley before serving. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or salad.
