Creating Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl with dill pickles and buttermilk. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).

2. Preheat Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Prepare Breading Station: In one bowl, combine the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.

4. Coat Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture first, shaking off excess, then dip in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating.

5. Choose Cooking Method:
– Baking: Place the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking oil for extra crispiness and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
– Frying: In a skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.

6. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.

7. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
