Title: Chick-Fil-A burgers?
Post by: TMB on July 05, 2021, 08:17:25 AM
A few years back I started to use pickle juice as a brine for chicken just like Chick-fil-A does and it works great.
As close to Thiers as I can get without using the breading.

So Saturday it hit me I have a chance to brine hamburger in pickle and see how it goes.

Well I took two patties and a little pickle juice let them soak for 12 hrs and wow it was good!  If you like pickles on your burger you will love this!

Sorry no finished pictures they were gone before I got to my phone!

Tommy, great idea. I would never have thought to do that to hamburger patties, but if it works, I'm all for it.

sounds good I do like pickles............................onions, cheese, relish, ketchup, mayo, salt, pepper, mushrooms & potato chips on top of my burgers.  Ok I am a pig. I will try this one as it keeps the stack lower.

Homemade or store bought pickles. & what kind Tommy?

This is a must try for me

This was just a test and used a cheap store bought juice.  Kimmie's mom has a killer recipe for pickles and I'm going to mix up some of that for the next try

After years of trying to perfect the perfect dill pickle recipe, I came across this producer of packaged ingredients. All you need to add is vinegar and dill. My grandkids and other adults have gone nuts over them for years, eating quart jars at a time. All of the ingredients are natural, nothing artificial. They have kosher and regular dill(to my knowledge the only difference between kosher style and regular is the garlic in the kosher style), bread and butter and sweet pickles and relish. They also have ingredient packs for salsa-mild, medium and hot, spaghetti sauce (you just add the tomatoes), and a whole line dips, etc. You could make up a pack of the dill pickle mix minus the cukes, and you'd have your pickle juice marinade.

Just curious, do you go with the darker green juice (Mt. Olive)?  I've found that for fried pickles, I like the lighter Claussen style.

I'm so sorry akruckus, and my apologies to others that might be interested also.  I forgot to include the name and link even while I was looking at it, while typing this morning. https://www.mrswages.com .  Their products are also available at many retailers, Ace Hardware and Do-It Center(hardware) locally in my area, online many places, etc. One I've purchased from with decent prices... www.soupsonline.com. As with most, the official website prices are higher to protect those that sell their products, but if anyone is interested in their products, you can see what they have available on their site.

Mrs. Wages also has  refrigerator pickle packs in both dill and bread and butter. The dill is pretty close to Claussen.

You guys always have GREAT IDEAS.
I am a dill pickle guy but I gave these Nathan's Gourmet Sweet Horseradish Pickles a try. https://nathansfamous.com/products/pickles/sweet-horseradish-pickles/ (https://nathansfamous.com/products/pickles/sweet-horseradish-pickles/) They are different from any other pickles. I have used the juice to pickle onions and radishes and they come out really great.

I also use the left over pickle juice to make pickled eggs They're killer in egg salad and potato salad. I do a lot of canning, including spiced, pickled beets. The beet juice puts a burgundy ring around the outer edge of the eggs, and sliced hard boiled eggs pickled in beet juice are quite eye pleasing.
