Ingredients

2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and halved
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
pickles, to taste
butter, to taste
soft hamburger buns

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin pieces. Put chicken in between heavy plastic and pound with a mallet to flatten.
After pounding, season the chicken with Kosher salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper.
In a small bowl whisk together egg, milk and 2 tablespoons of water.
In a separate bowl combine and mix the flours, the baking soda, dry mustard. I like to add a pinch more of cayenne pepper and oregano.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in cast iron skillet and wait for it to get hot (325 degrees F.)
Dip the chicken in egg mixture and then dip in to flour mixture. Make sure to fully coat each chicken. Fry the chicken in the oil until it is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Butter and toast buns, serve with a pickle on the sandwich.

Sounds like the sandwhich would be very good to make, but where does the powdered sugar come in at. Did you leave it out? How is the powdered sugar used in the recipe?

The powdered sugar is mixed with the flours. It's odd, but it is somewhat of their "secret" ingredient. I've also heard of people brining the chicken in pickle juice to get it closer to the Chick-Fil-A flavor.

Why is there powdered sugar listed in ingredients and not added in instructions? Never heard of powdered sugar used for chicken.
