Perhaps you have a favorite variety or location where you buy chicken, and, if you are anything like me, you enjoy it regularly.

At this point, you might be wondering if eating this fried chicken is going to be like chomping into a giant pickle. Don’t worry, the pickle juice will add just the right amount of flavor to the recipe.
The easiest way to make this recipe is to buy a jar of pickles and use the pickle juice. For those that feel especially adventurous, you can also make your own pickles. Take one piece of chicken at a time and shake it in a bag with seasoned flour mix. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated so the chicken is crispy on the outside. The pickle juice marinade will keep it juicy on the inside.
Each piece of chicken gets fried for about 7 or 8 minutes. Watch that it doesn’t brown too quickly, and if it does, turn down the heat.
Make this fried chicken for the family and watch it do a disappearing act. Make some extra and freeze it for later. Just thaw it and crisp it up in the oven.
Pickle juice chicken, you won’t be sorry.
