Method
 

Marinating the chicken
  1. Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk and dill pickle juice for at least 1 hour.
Preparing the coating
  1. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture.
Cooking the chicken
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through.
Making the aioli
  1. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the aioli.
Assembling the sandwich
  1. Toast the brioche buns in butter until golden.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: place lettuce, the crispy chicken, cheddar cheese, dill pickle chips, and aioli on the bottom bun.
  3. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

Notes

Store cooked chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep aioli in a separate jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Do not store the assembled sandwich for long, or the bun will get soggy.
