Ingredients

1 - chicken breast
¾ cup - pickle juice
¾ cup - buttermilk
1 tsp - salt
1 tsp - black pepper
1 tsp - smoked paprika
1 tsp - garlic powder
1 tsp - MSG
1 ⅔ cups - all-purpose flour
1 tbsp - mayonnaise
4 tablespoons - yogurt
2 tablespoons - water
1 tsp - garlic powder
1 tsp - dried parsley
salt and pepper
¼ cup - hot frying oil
1 tbsp - honey

6 - homemade Hawaiian rolls
pickles

Instructions

Mix pickle juice, buttermilk, and all spices. Add chicken and let it marinate as long as possible (minimum 1 hour, overnight for best results).
In a shallow bowl, combine flour with the same spice mix. Dredge marinated chicken fillets until fully coated. For extra crunch, dip again lightly in buttermilk and coat in flour a second time.
Heat oil to 170–180°C (medium-high). Fry chicken for about 4–6 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Don’t cut immediately, let it rest for 5 minutes so the inside finishes cooking and stays juicy.
Whisk yogurt, mayo, water, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and MSG until creamy. Make the Hot Honey Glaze Take 60–70 ml of the hot frying oil. Stir in honey and spices. Pour glaze over the fried chicken while still hot.
Slice buns in half. Spread sauce on the bottom bun. Add chicken, pickles, more sauce, and top bun.
