Chic-fil-a sandwich- King style

The other day Kirby had the great idea (in hindsight, it wasn't so great) to try and mimic the chicken sandwiches from Chic-fil-a. First, we googled (what would we do without google!!) Chic-fil-a recipes and found a few people who said they had the "real thing". After looking at a few, we decided on this one.

3 cups Peanut oil
1 Egg
1 cup Milk
1 cup Flour
2-1/2 Teaspoons Powdered sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
2 Tablespoons Salt (we found out this was WAY too much salt)
2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
4 Plain hamburger buns
2 Tablespoons Melted butter
8 Dill pickle slices

Mix together the egg and milk. Place the filets in this mixture, and let
sit for at least an hour.



While the breasts are sitting, mix together the Flour, Sugar, Pepper, and
Salt.



Once the sitting is done, dredge in the flour. (After the first dredging, we would put them back in the milk bath for a few seconds, and re-dredge!)

Place the Peanut oil in a deep fat fryer, and bring up to a high heat.
Once up to 375 F., gently drop into the oil, and let cook until golden
brown. (This is for those of us who do not have a pressure cooker. If you
do, follow the note below!)

(We used our Rival "Wing It" fryer since we don't have a pressure cooker.)

Note: Chick-Fil-A actually uses a Pressure Cooker to cook the Filets in. If
you have one, use the peanut oil according to the instructions for frying in
it. Desired heat is 400 F. Once steam starts shooting through, cook for
about 4 Minutes.
Lightly butter the buns, and grill until heated through. Place two
pickles on each bun, and place a hot breast on each!
Servings: 4

It ended up not being quite what we expected and a lot more work than we wanted, so we probably won't be making them again. We spent about 3 1/2 hours preparing and cooking about 8 chicken breasts! I guess we'll just have to keep buying it straight from Chic-fil-a. Which... by the way... does your Chic-fil-a have "Face to Face service" in the drive-thru now? When I went a few weeks ago, before even pulling up to the speaker, someone standing outside my car window took my order on a notepad (face to face) and then handed me my order slip. Then, I pulled up to another worker (also face to face) who I gave my order slip to and he used his headset to tell someone inside my order. They say it's friendlier and faster service. I'd say friendlier, but faster... I'm not quite sold. I'd say it took just as long or longer to get through the car line of about 10-15 cars.
