Preparation Steps

Marinate the chicken in dill pickle juice for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavors.
Prepare a breading station: one bowl with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain chicken on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Allow chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
