INGREDIENTS:

4 hamburger buns, split

1 head green leaf lettuce, leaves separated

1 beefsteak tomato, sliced

20 dill pickle slices

FOR THE CHICKEN

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup dill pickle juice

1 ½ cups milk, divided

1 cup peanut oil

1 large egg

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed.

In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and ½ cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners’ sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Panel 1: The crow whistles to himself as he unlocks the front door of his house A trans flag hangs in the window.

Panel 2: “Excuse me!” calls a pink capybara from a nearby car. The crow jumps, startled.

Panel 3: “Hi!” waves the capybara, “I just wanted to say, I’m the mom of a trans kiddo...”

Panel 4: “And I know it makes them feel good when we drive past the flag in your window,” the capybara continues.

Panel 5: The crow looks at the flags as the capybara concludes, “It lets them know there’s other people like them out there.”

Panel 6: The crow pauses, eyes water and mouth open.

Panel 7: “You’re welcome!” says the crow

"Coolness" is arbitrary but I was looking for thumb-centric construction, thumb shaping integrated into the pattern very smoothly, and other neat thumb tricks. All links are Ravelry. Feel free to add more!
