Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
• Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
• Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
• Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
• Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
• Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.
