Night before made some home made dill pickle chips. Extra crunchy!
Pickle brine some chicken using a brine mixture and one habenero.
Three breasts made three different ways.
Tenders
Popcorn chicken
Stuffed breast
In retrospect, every bit of this could have been smaller. Thinner tinders, smaller popcorn....probably should have pounded the breast into a milanese then wrapped the stuffing instead of cutting a pocket.
Seasoned dry flour, seasoned wet dip for breading.
Cooked some backon 80%. Spices ready to make my own hot chili sauce to coat the chicken. You use those spices and reserve some oil from the frying process.
Jar of homemade pickle chips. Some bleu cheese.
double or triple dip the chicken pieces (after stuffing the breast with bacon, pickle chips, and blue cheese.
While letting the chicken rest to make sure the batter really sticks, make some buttermilk waffle batter...
When done with that, make some scratch garlic dill ranch...

Heat oil to 350F. My stove was easily going past this on medium and I used a thermometer to learn to bring this down. This improved by cooking process.
Cook in small batches. The popcorn chicken is small enough to make this a deep fry and were easily my best pieces.
Spoon some oil into thespice mixture and whisk. Hot oil sauce!
take finished chicken in batches into the overn on warm and baste with hot oil mix.
Use that base chicken to assemble all the items above.
