Crispy Dill Chicken Sandwich with Homemade Aioli

A crisp and simple sandwich featuring crunchy chicken, fresh dill, and creamy aioli that combines flavors of dill and pickle juice for a tangy taste.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp dried dill weed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, dill pickle juice, and large egg. Add chicken breasts and marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  5. For the aioli, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and dijon mustard in a bowl. Mix well.
  6. Toast the brioche buns in butter until golden.
  7. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the dill aioli on buns, adding lettuce, fried chicken, dill pickle chips, and cheddar cheese. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before coating to help the flour stick. For extra crunch, consider double-dipping the chicken.
