Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Cut each chicken breast into thirds to make 12 pieces total. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl, add 4 cups buttermilk, cover, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
-
Step 2.
Drain the chicken in a colander—do not rinse—and shake off excess buttermilk. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
In a gallon-size plastic bag, combine 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon seasoning salt, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, and 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper. Seal the bag and shake until well combined.
-
Step 4.
Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal, and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Let the coated chicken rest for 10 minutes.
-
Step 5.
While the chicken rests, pour 3 cups vegetable oil into a large skillet (about 12 inches) and heat over medium heat to 360°F (use a deep-fry thermometer).
-
Step 6.
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Deep-fry until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally for even browning. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
-
Step 7.
Spread mayonnaise on the slider buns. Place a piece of fried chicken and a few dill pickle chips on each bottom bun, then top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
