    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.

    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'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?

    Quick question - Do you let your stuff from the sous vide bath rest to room temp before searing / frying / or otherwise finishing them?
    Or do you just take them right out of the bath and hit them with the high heat?

Then I forget what video it’s from. The idea is to do a series of videos just doing compilations of your best side dishes. I know I would watch and maybe it could be a good Idea.

    buttermilk contains slight acidity, that acidity helps in breaking down proteins in the chicken therefore tenderizing it

    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)

    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.

    - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ?

    I love your channel. It's entertaining and useful. I found this video while researching the typical saltwater brine. 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...

    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...
