In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Mix to combine then set aside to bloom 5-10 minutes.

Whisk in the salt and egg. Add 2 cups flour and mix until a shaggy dough. Add in the cubed, softened butter, and mix until the butter is incorporated.

Turn out the dough on a floured surface, adding ½ cup more flour at a time. Knead an additional 1-2 minutes, until a smooth and pliable dough.

Place in a greased bowl, then set aside in a warm environment for 30-45 minutes to double in volume.

Roll out the dough to be ¼" thick rectangle. Slice into 4 strips lengthwise. Stack two strips on top of each other, so you know have two double-layered strips. Roll out each strip so it's ½" thick. Slice into 2" wide mini rolls. Pinch on end together so that it will open like a pocketbook. Place in a buttered 9x13" baking dish. Cover and set aside to rise 20-30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Brush the rolls with butter or an egg wash. Bake 12-15 minutes, until golden on top. Be careful not to over bake the rolls or they will be tough.

Mix the melted butter and honey together, then brush on top of the warm rolls. Set aside until ready to be used.

In a large bowl, toss together the chopped chicken, kefir, and pickle juice. Cover and set aside in the fridge for 20-40 minutes.

In the meantime, make the flour mixture by mixing together the flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Transfer the flour mixture to a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Set aside.

Add the beaten egg into the chicken bowl, stirring until well-combined.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken (without the excess liquids) to the ziplock bag.

Shake the bag well to every coat the chicken.

Heat up a frying pan with olive oil over medium high heat.

Once heated, fry the chicken in small batches for 4-6 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a wire rack lined with parchment paper.

Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then sandwich between the rolls and enjoy with the copycat Chick-Fil-A dipping sauce!

Simply whisk all ingredients together, adjusting to taste. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
