@salty tales Best way to prep chicken. Buttermilk and an egg white. Soak overnight, or use a cheap vacuum sealed food bag and get the same results in 2 hrs. If you haven't tried it, please do, let me know how you like it. Once it's done marinating you can clean it off and cook as desired from there or use the buttermilk as your binder for breading/seasoning it works fairly well. I absolutely love seasoned panko style ertra crispy breading on this type of chicken

LOL crazy stuff! 😂😂

Pickle juice is mostly vinegar. Vinegar is a very effective meat tenderizer but it works fast and the residual flavor can be strong if used too long. You don’t want to leave any meat sitting in vinegar for a prolonged period of time because it will break the meat fibers down to mush and ruin the taste of the meat. He might have had better luck if he’d brined it in the juice for an hour (at most).

Now that's entertaining!

Ninja! I'm having to write all this twice because of a "glitch" so, you know I love you, brother... And first things first, then the *best* chicken! Ninja... You're *killing* me, man. You're wondering why you can't say "cajun" but you still can't say "wish" or "dishhh" soft, Ninja, soft shh (it's not "wich," CH is like "Chicken" or "chowder"). And that damned chicken is not "jello..." It's *yellow!* "Chicken, Cheese, China, sand-WICH..." "Wish" and "dish" does not sound the same as "itch" !!! 😀 😆 Okay, down to business. Your chicken tastes like pickles because you used pickle juice! It's the dill that's throwing it off. For the best brine and cooked chicken 🐔!! First, the brine. In a pot add water enough to cover your chicken well. Set heat to medium. Add 1 cup cider vinegar. Add just enough *Morton's pickling salt* (dissolves and absorbs better than kosher salt) to cause a raw egg (yes, in the shell) to barely float the egg off the bottom of the pot. This is a way to set the proper density of the salt brine, regardless of the volume.. Next, add 3/4 cup brown sugar. While salt/sugar completely dissolve add fresh sage, rosemary and thyme, a couple sprigs of each. Also, you can add some pickling spices (1 Tbsp) such as goes into corned beef. This won't make your chicken taste like pickles! (No dill). (I also add several lemon slices, brighter flavor). Let this steep for 20 minutes or so to free the flavors, then kill the heat and add enough ice to chill the water. Send the chicken for a swim and put in fridge foe min of 24 to *36hrs.* Rescue the bird from the pool and dry well. Rub skin with lemon juice and distribute herb butter under the skin but don't pull the skin away. Season the skin well and either place bird upside down and place on a greased baking tray *or* place on poultry/turkey hanger, breast downward and hang on hook/rods in cooker, which is set to 250°f. add fruit wood and smoke/slow roast for 45min. Baste with apple juice and increase heat to 325°f. *If roasting in tray,* flip bird at 150• and baste to allow breast to plump and brown, cook until internal temp reaches 155°-158°f. and remove from cooker. Cover completely with foil and place in cold oven or warm, draft free place and let rest min. 25 to 45 minutes, letting temp come up to 160°f. *Add 5 min to all cook times if desired.* Your sides should be done by the time the birds had his nap, stick a fork in it and watch the juices flow! 😀 I promise, Ninja, you'll like this bird and it won't be dry! This is how I do my turkeys and people love them. Let me know!
