For the Chicken Marinade: Mix the 8 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breast, 3 tablespoons of dill pickle juice, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and ½ tablespoon of hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot) in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the Spicy Chicken Breading: In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of panko, ¼ teaspoon of paprika, ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of baking powder.
For the Imitation Chick-fil-A Sauce: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of Greek yogurt (unsweetened), 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce (preferably a sweet variety), and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional, for extra tang). Season with salt and pepper to taste (optional).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge it in the spicy chicken breading mixture, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides.
Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it's cooked through and the breading is golden brown.
Serve the spicy chicken with the imitation Chick-fil-A sauce and your desired sides (such as fries).
