In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients until fully combined. I love making the sauce while the chicken is frying.
1/2 cup light mayonnaise, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and then place a wire rack in it. Set aside.
Pat the chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
4 chicken breast halves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili powder in a dish, whisking to combine. Pour onto a plate.
1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons paprika
Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish.
4 large eggs
Dip the chicken first in the eggs, coating fully. Then dip in the flour mixture. Dip the chicken back in the eggs and then back into the flour mixture. Transfer to the prepared wire rack in baking sheet and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, heat the oil in a large skillet. Bring the temperature of the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the chicken 2 at a time for 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is golden brown.
1 cup vegetable oil

While the chicken is cooking, butter the buns. Place them in a skillet over medium heat to lightly toast them. Then set aside.
4 brioche buns, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add some Chick Fil A Sauce to the bottom bun, then add some pickles and top with the chicken. Add more sauce and top with the top of the bun.
1 sliced pickles

Because of the size of chicken breasts, you can very often get two large breasts that will equal one pound. You want to cut these in half by butterflying them open to make four pieces.
The paprika and chili powder will not make this recipe spicy. If you would like to make a spicy chicken sandwich, add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper when you add the other spices.
Please note that the nutritional information is based on what was left in my kitchen. I encourage you to calculate based on you making them in your kitchen. Additionally, the bun and the sauce are not included in the calculations, though you can get the nutritional information for the sauce here: Chick Fil A Sauce.
