If you enjoy the salty, sour tang of pickles and you love fried chicken, listen up. Adding a splash of pickle juice to a fried chicken brine can help infuse the poultry with the same tangy flavor you enjoy. It also helps tenderize the meat. We previously shared burger chef Chris Kronner's recipe for pickle-brined fried chicken, and we love the juicy, crispy-fried bird it turns out.
In the recipe, Kronner makes a brine of equal parts pickle juice and buttermilk, another classic brine ingredient beloved by fried chicken cooks everywhere. As explained by Food & Wine, dill pickle juice, which contains sugar, helps infuse the meat with a subtle sweetness and tanginess. The site's brine recipe also calls for buttermilk, hot sauce, and salt.
Brining your chicken in pickle juice is a win-win because you can serve pickles alongside the finished dish, which will make cutting through the richness and oiliness of the chicken easy. There's a reason why you often find pickle slices on fried chicken sandwiches.
