For years I couldn’t figure out what I was tasting when I ate a Chick-fil-A sandwich.
My wife discovered that marinating the chicken in pickle juice is how they do it. I didn’t believe it until I tried it.
Tastes almost exactly the same.

Damn that sounds good. Marinate before dipping in batter? For how long?
See! That alone is why every man needs a great woman 🤙
You know, the better it gets, the better it gets :-)
A friend of mine from Alabama taught me that.
Have been doing it ever since.
Now to get down to who has the best pickle brine.
I marinade pheasant in pickle juice and buttermilk before a double dip and fry…crazy good.
Yo!!! I made this for the family (4 of us) last night inspired by this post. Holy smokes!!! We all melted into heaven. It was so delicious. I first took 2 chicken breasts (free range of course) and sliced them in half along the length, not the width. Then I pounded them flat. Added about a cup of pickle juice and a few other spices. I marinated them for 12 hours. I made the batter from scratch using egg whites, flour, and smashed up crackers. Then I fried them in organic sunflower oil. Served them up on homemade buns with the usual condiments and sliced avocados. Yum yum yummy 😋
