[@sfcmmacro]

The buttermilk has an enzyme that tenderizes and moisturizes the meat (much like pineapple and papaya). Using store-bought pickle juice is just marinading in a vinegar/spice mix (might as well use Italian dressing). It would be interesting to use a “real” brine from homemade pickles or sauerkraut since those get their “sour” from a natural Lactobacillus fermentation and the live bacterial culture might have more of an “enzymatic” effect on the chicken than denaturing the protein using an acid (vintager).

[@scottrconsulting]

[@liudehua5742]

@@scottrconsulting how did it turn out? I love pickles

[@dreadfairy6963]

Yep it does! I have a dairy and soy intolerance so I had to find creative solutions to tenderizing meat. I saw a lot of recipes using yogurt and figured that it's the enzymes and probiotics breaking down the meat, not just the dairy alone. So I started using some vegan yogurt and then using some old fermented kimchi up so it didn't go to waste. Now I blend up a mixture of vegan yogurt, kimchi, and whatever juice I have in the fridge from either kalamatas, green olives, pickles, or peperccini. Works great for tenderizing and also lowering the gaming's of meat like lamb too.

How about a buttermilk brining experiment where you have several batches of chicken that brine in the buttermilk for different periods of time to see if that changes the texture &/or flavor? One for 2 hours (the control), one for 4, one for 8, and one for 24 hours.

Have you tried experimenting with sous vide in the brine? I'll use soy sauce instead of salt in my brine. Because the meat is already immersed in liquid, I only need to remove all the air out of the bag; vacuum isn't necessary. The brine transmits the heat from the sous vide directly to the meat through conduction and convection. But, I've never really compared brining PRIOR to cooking vs. brining WHILE cooking.

[@jasonray9655]

It’s awesome you have a blind tester with you! That helps me taste it with you. I think you can really use this format

A little late to this party, but if you make a deep incision on either side of the bone on the inner side of the thighs before you brine/season you can enhance the flavor just from that alone. I have tried and trued this method.

There is one perfected recipe including chicken and olives, Algerian olive chicken. You should give it a chance. But the most important thing is to use good olives. In Algeria where they grow a lot, the choice would be small olives from old trees. They also make the best olive oil.

[@Jacen32272]

You should try a "neutral" brine of Water, Vinegar, Salt and Sugar as an option for a base that you can modify to add seasoning to the chicken in the future. BTW, it's the acid in the vinegar and buttermilk that's tenderizing the chicken. With buttermilk, it's less a brine then a marinade, as brining requires a salt solution and buttermilk has relatively little salt...

[@Luckmann]

Ever since this video, I always brine/marinade my chicken in homemade buttermilk (whole milk+apple cider vinegar, but I also throw in a bit of sour creme/creme fraiche) along with salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, overnight. Works perfectly every time.

[@tiffanyspliff9623]

I love using pickle juice and other seasonings to brine my chicken. I usually do it in bags with a bunch of other spices like garlic, pepper, oregano, etc. When you brine in the bag you don't have to use as much brine, and with the extra seasonings, you can really dial in the flavor. It's my personal favorite way to make chicken! (You can also try out other types of pickles and find your favorite. I like using the sandwich pickles or bread and butter pickles)

[@_EatShit_]

I used to do that until I found out how much better pepperoncini juice is. It destroys pickle juice in chicken brine.

[@mixmastakooz]

It’s all about becoming denatured.Acid breaks down protein in the same way that heat does. In the same way the lime in Ceviche partially “cooks” fish. The best example is egg white going from clear to white.

I elected to do the generic saltwater brine for the first time today on some boneless chicken thighs. Just a 3-4 hour soak in maybe 1/4 a cup of salt and half a gallon of water worked magic on the chicken. I removed it from the brine, seasoned with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and poultry seasoning and cooked on a George Forman grill for 10-12 minutes. OMG were they juicy and tender and the salt enhanced the flavor of the meat. I kinda want to try a pickle juice / jalepeno juice brine at some point but you don't gotta get all jiggy wit it even tho I know that'r ur thang...

Me too!!! Got it from my mom.....buttermilk with a little cracked pepper. Heaven!

Thanks for doing the experiment! Now I know the best brine for chicken.

I've brimmed pork a few x w olive bime and turned out good. I mix pickle juice with the butter milk and get great results.

Cool! Still pushing for asoefetida powder umami experiment using Tasting History's Parthian Chicken - Roman Empire version vs. sous vide version 😂

I want to know if a traditional lactobacillus cultured pickle gets the same type of result as the heat-treated quick pickle in the video. I would recommend homemaking both though, so it isolates that distinction
