Ever look at a jar of pickle juice and think, what a waste.
Oh thats just me, I LOVE pickles.
I had always heard this urban legend that Chick-fil-A marinated their chicken tenders in pickle juice. So I thought if it is true and then it is good enough to try.
What you will need:
- Chicken Breast cut into tender strips.
- Pickle juice {my favs are below}
- Panko bread crumbs {I love Ian's whole wheat}
- Onion powder 1/2tsp
- Garlic powder 1/2 tsp
- Paprika 1/2tsp
- Salt and pepper 1 tsp of each
- 2 eggs
- Marinate your chicken in the pickle juice for at least an hour, but the longer the better.
- Beat eggs dump bread crumbs on a plate and mix in seasonings. Then pat dry the chicken on a paper towel and proceed to bread the chicken. Egg then crumbs.
- Fry up in some oil olive {just be careful the sugar in the pickle juice can burn}
Plate and serve. I made plain boxed corn bread, but I will be making this recipe next time {thanks Julie!}
Thats hot sauce, cause I love it just as much as I love pickles.
They were very good and just the hint of pickle to them.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWhat - really!?!? Okay - gonna have to give it a try and see !! And I put hot sauce on everything, too. Love it on popcorn!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... I Love Dill Pickles.... do you think that juice would work and be yummy too?
ReplyDeleteThe legend is true about Chick-fil-A! I worked there for 5 years. The chicken strips are marinated in pickle juice! Gives them that distinct flavor. Yours sound yummy too!
ReplyDeleteOk, I worked at Chick-fil-A too and we never marinated our chicken in pickle juice. It must be a regional thing (I worked in VA)?? But it does sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe franchise I worked at developed the Chick-fil-A sauce and served it for years before selling it corporate. Obviously our priorities were out of wack.... we should have been marinating our strips in pickle juice! Although if you haven't tried Chick-fil-A sauce you should because it is the bomb-diggity.
oh my i love pickles and chicken! must try this!!
