Pickle juice brine?

[chef k-dude]

Try it for sure, I've even used it to brine beef for beef jerky.... add red pepper flakes!

On my list is canned pickled hotdogs, sounds crazy but those pickled sausage you can buy at the gas station are pretty good on a road trip!

I used to love those things, especially the hot ones. Then they started giving me heartburn. I haven't tried them since we went low carb for several years and that made my heartburn disappear. Those sausages also always left behind a slime or fat layer on the throat that let you know you were probably eating something the doctor wold not recommend! They were too good to pass up for many years for me though.

I always look for sales like half price on stuff, if I can get it, and haven't "power-shopped" through town in a while; but when I can get a convenient deal on little smokies I plan to make

I read where pickle brine is supposed to be Chick-fil-a's secret to their popular chicken? It may be nothing but a lie so there's that :)

My wife loves Chick-fil-A but does not care for grilled chicken breast marinade in pickle juice. Go figure.

We're pickle nuts. We kill jars of pickles or olives or whatever each week. Best so far for us was OLIVE brined chicken. That being said, for pork chops you have to try Canadian/Montreal Steak Seasoning on some. OMG so good.

Already one of my go-to seasonings. I use that stuff on everything (fantastic on burgers)

Kinda looking back, most of our pickle juice gets drank by my partner before it could be used for anything else. My partner also batters and skillet fries the hamburger dill slices, pretty tasty treat. Haha Might have to place an order on Amazon from the Pickle Juice Co if I remember they are down in the Dallas TX area to use as a sports drink. Thanks for the tips, I have it on the list for the next chicken, grilled or smoked, and will try the jared pepper juice and olive juice also. Double like to using the Montreal seasoning on a lot of beef things, will have to expand that out.

Montreal is my go-to seasoning on a variety of beef cuts I grill, bake or sous vide. I like the coarseness as well as the flavor profile.

Several manufacturers have an "Olde Canadian Chicken Seasoning", that is designed for chicken... but also good on pork.

I think the regular is good on all of them, the one I use doesn't mention chicken but...

McCormick also makes a poultry Montreal seasoning. It’s good too. But I do prefer the original.

I have always thought Chic fil a was overrated. Their signature sauce is very good though and I created a great copycat that is one of my regular sauces now. I've made some fried chicken, and tenders, etc. over the years, but if you haven't had them, the "famous chicken fingers" from Walmart are outstanding. I dont even try to make my own anymore. I think they are better than Chic fil a strips. Of course I deep fry them (hard to find anything from the grocer freezer that even has deep fryer directions anymore), I haven't tried baking or air frying them. I either serve my Chic fil a sauce for dipping or toss them in Buffalo sauce and serve with my blue cheese dip.

I'm a little concerned to read that Popeye's has gone all "pickle brine" because for us, its the best chicken sandwich on the market today. We get the spicy about once a week. For $5 plus tax here, and an actual boneless chicken breast like you would make at home, its the best deal for a fast food sandwich around. I hope the pickle brine doesn't take away from what they are doing because its basically perfect as is.

They also sell 2oz "shots" because its well known as a great electrolyte and fights cramps. Athletes have been drinking the stuff for a long time.

The next time I'm offered a pickleback, I'll have to remember that I'm an "athlete" taking it for "medicinal" reasons!

This thread has my mouth watering for some pickles!

On another note, Ive heard that chasing tequila with pickle juice is a real game changer!.......
