Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with pickle juice. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Dredge the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and dip each piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or fryer, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Drain the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
