First, pat dry the chicken breasts with a kitchen towel and set them aside.
Next, in a shallow bowl, combine flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground pepper. Set this mixture aside.
In another shallow bowl, combine the eggs and milk, and whisk them together using a fork. Set this bowl aside.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, dip them into the egg mixture, followed by another coating in the flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with flour.
Meanwhile, heat a pan with oil suitable for deep frying. Fry the chicken breasts carefully until they turn crispy and golden on both sides.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil, allowing any excess oil to drain on a kitchen towel. Set the chicken aside.
To prepare the Chick Fil A sauce, take a small bowl and combine mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, yellow mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Mix these ingredients until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the prepared Chick Fil A sauce over the toasted buns. Place the crispy chicken on the bun and top it with dill pickle chips.
Finally, close the sandwich with the other half of the bun and serve it while still warm, accompanied by potato fries on the side.
Notes
If you have leftover chicken patties, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in an air fryer until warm and crispy.
