Fried chicken for breakfast may sound strange, but pop it on a biscuit with some egg and cheese on top and it is something special. Especially when it is a Chick-fil-A copycat.
Alternatives to frying chicken
At the restaurant the chicken is pressure cooked in peanut oil. You can use a deep fat fryer, or heavy pan with oil to fry with you if you prefer.
If you don’t want to fry you can air fry or even bake it instead. Spraying with a little non-stick spray will help crisp up the crust a bit.
Ingredients for Chick-fil-A clone breakfast sandwich
Biscuits: use any biscuit recipe you prefer including the ones in the refrigerated tubes. If you prefer homemade you can try one of the recipes in the Notes section of the recipe.
Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs if you prefer.
Peanut Oil: For frying. Or any other frying oil you prefer.
Cheese: Use American slices if you prefer or sliced cheddar or any other cheese you like.
Pickle juice: This is one of the secrets to this recipe. It adds a pleasant little tang and tenderizes the chicken.
Powdered sugar: The powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness to counter the tang of the pickle juice.
Other ingredients: eggs, milk, flour, salt, pepper

In a flat bowl combine 1 egg and milk thoroughly. In another bowl combine flour, powdered sugar, pepper and salt. Dip each piece in the egg/milk mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, then place gently in the hot oil (or on a baking sheet or in air fryer).

While the chicken is cooking, heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet. Scramble remaining 4 eggs in a bowl. Pour in the hot skillet and cook without stirring just until cooked through.
