    You should prank Angel by making a bunch of steaks that are all exactly the same and calling it an experiment. Get Mau Mau in on it. Like both of you say one is delicious, one is disgusting, one is normal. While Angel is just sitting there confused and trying to figure out the difference.

    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).

      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.

    What Guga said about the Mazzeta tamed jalapenos is absolutely true.... I can eat a whole jar of them, by themselves with no burn.

    Or do you just take them right out of the bath and hit them with the high heat?

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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...

    Chick-Fil-A uses pickle juice. It brines with a mineralesque flavor. Most Michelin restaurants use plain yogurt to break down the chicken and get a crunchier skin and juicier inside. Traditional fried chicken cutlets, as in a chicken sandwich or any southern dish, will call for buttermilk. Nobody else has used olive or jalapeño that I've ever heard of. Yogurt beats buttermilk - give it a try.

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...
