 That's it!  I have been trying to figure out what I don't like about their grilled chicken. It makes perfect sense now.  Their chicken biscuits are awesome but otherwise ....
  I cannot stand pickles on chicken or fish sandwiches. Or BBQ either...

This could be good! Pickle juice isn't just for chicken. Put hard boiled eggs in the pickle juice. Only takes 3-5 days (or longer if you like)They are QUITE tasty and make a better addition to potato salad the plain ol' hard boiled eggs. Pickled beet juice works too. The whites absorb the color.

You can put anything in pickle brine..one year, I did veggies then some smoked bologna chunks, Jalapeno Spam..sure gives a lot of flavor..specially if your drinking beers  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

You pickle on chicken haters are few thank goodness, otherwise Chick-fil-A wouldn't have made it out of Hapeville GA all those years ago. I think pickles with chicken is an excellent pairing as it is with a good old southern pulled pork sammy. Gotta have it ;)

Also, did you know CFA puts powdered sugar in their breading? Chew on that for a bit :P

I tried pickle juice brined wings in the past...I love pickles but wasn't too crazy about the wings. I haven't made them again.
