Ingredients

• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup pickle juice
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1.5 lb chicken breast
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup grated parmesan
• 1 tbsp parsley
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and marinate for a minimum of 1 hour and best for 4–12 hours.
2. Mix all crispy coating ingredients until well combined.
3. Take chicken straight from the marinade into the flour mixture. Press firmly to create crinkles and texture. Let coated chicken rest for 5–10 minutes before frying.
4. Heat oil to 340–350°F (170–175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.
5. Remove chicken and rest for 2–3 minutes.
6. Return chicken to hot oil and fry again for 2–3 minutes until deep golden and ultra crispy. Drain on a wire rack, not paper towels.
7. Melt butter, add garlic and cook for 30–45 seconds without browning.
8. Turn off heat and stir in mayonnaise, parmesan, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
9. Add crispy chicken to a bowl.
10. Brush the garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken bites evenly. Finish with extra parmesan on top and serve hot.
