  • @sfcmmacro
    @sfcmmacro 3 года назад +36

    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).

      @dreadfairy6963 Год назад

      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.

    You should try experimenting with yogurt, sour cream along with buttermilk. That would be a more interesting test. Also to be more of an experiment, have a control so one that's not brined. So tastes can be compared. Great video!

    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.

    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.

    I've used olive juice to brine fried chicken, however I used the juice from Castelvetrano olives. Their taste is milder so that may be a better choice. Also, I wonder has anyone ever marinated chicken in buttermilk ranch dressing?

  • @MrPepelongstockings
    @MrPepelongstockings 10 месяцев назад +3

    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.

    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.

    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)

  • @Jacen32272
    @Jacen32272 3 года назад +21

    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...
