Pickle Fried Chicken Recipe with Stone Fruit Fennel Slaw

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup dill pickle juice
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour pickle juice over them. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. In a shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Remove chicken from pickle juice and dredge in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
5. Remove chicken from skillet and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate.

Tips & Variations

For a healthier version, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Simply coat the chicken in the flour mixture, place it on a baking sheet, and bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the flour mixture.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your pickle fried chicken with a refreshing stone fruit fennel slaw. The sweetness of the fruit and the crunch of the fennel complement the tangy chicken perfectly.

FAQs

Can I use pickle brine instead of pickle juice?

Yes, pickle brine will work just as well to marinate the chicken and infuse it with flavor.

How can I make the slaw ahead of time?

You can make the slaw a few hours in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. Just toss the dressing with the slaw right before serving to keep it crisp.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs will work just as well in this recipe—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Is there a gluten-free option for the flour coating?

You can use gluten-free flour or cornstarch as a substitute for the flour in this recipe.
