Introduction
Crispy, pickle-brined chicken fingers inspired by the sitcom Community, featuring a flavorful buttermilk marinade and an extra-crunchy cornflake-infused breading.
Step 1
Combine buttermilk, pickle juice, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp black pepper, a pinch of cayenne, 1/2 tsp paprika, and a bay leaf in a container. Whisk until homogeneous.
Step 2
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade mixture, cover, and refrigerate for a bare minimum of 8 hours.
Step 3
Place the egg whites in one shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and crushed cornflakes.
Step 4
Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the marinade into the dry flour mixture and whisk to form small clumps for extra texture.
Step 5
Remove chicken from marinade, dip into the egg whites, and then thoroughly bury and coat in the dry breading mixture. Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Marinating the chicken in pickle juice and buttermilk for at least 8 hours ensures highly tender and flavorful meat.
Crushed cornflakes are the secret to achieving an incredibly crispy crunch that holds up well after frying.
Adding a small amount of marinade back into the dry flour mix helps create shaggy, crunchy bits on the crust.
