Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup pickle juice (for marinating)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Peanut oil (for brushing on the grill)
4 soft hamburger buns
Dill pickle slices
Optional: Mayonnaise or Chick-fil-A sauce

Tools:

Arteflame grill
Meat thermometer
Tongs
Bowls for mixing
Whisk

Instructions:

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a dish and cover with pickle juice. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to tenderize and flavor the meat.
Prepare the Dredge: In a bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and celery salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
Dredge the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry. Dip each piece first in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high. Brush the grill surface lightly with peanut oil. Place the breaded chicken on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Prepare the Buns: Lightly brush the hamburger buns with butter and toast them on the grill for about 1 minute, or until they are lightly browned.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place each grilled chicken breast on a toasted bun. Top with two pickle slices. Add mayonnaise or Chick-fil-A sauce if desired.

Conclusion:

Enjoy your homemade Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich with the unique addition of smoky flavors from the Arteflame grill. This recipe not only brings the beloved fast food classic to your table but also adds a personal touch of outdoor grilling expertise.
