Chicken BRINING Experiment!

thank you raid shadow legends for sponsoring this video welcome back to everyone's memory guys, you saw the thumbnail. I love

brining

my

chicken

, but I usually just use buttermilk because buttermilk is amazing, but did you see the other weird stuff we're going to use in this? video to find out which is the best I am always looking for something better than the traditional version. This will be the case in this scenario. I have no idea, but we'll find out together. Check it out and it all starts with

chicken

and I'm talking a lot of chicken for today I chose thigh meat with bones but no skin and the reason I didn't have skin is because I want the brine to penetrate the meat well and obviously the skin will be on the way since I'm trying four different ways.

I went ahead and separated them into different bowls and as you can see this is quite a bit of chicken and hey I don't have a problem with that but now that we have all of our chickens ready the only thing left is What we need to do is prepare our solutions of brine and this will be our control. It's buttermilk. I'm pretty sure you know what buttermilk chicken tastes like. It is one of the most popular things you can do with chicken. Using it is quite simple to do. you just have to pour it over your chicken, you can also season that buttermilk, there are many different ways but I chose to take the easy route after dumping all the buttermilk in there, the only thing I have to make sure of is that every one of them is perfectly covered, as you can see, if you move them, some parts will not be covered, that is not what you want.

I don't know the science behind this, but I'll tell you what, if you brine chicken with buttermilk, it will. It will always be better now the only thing left to do is close it with plastic and leave it in my refrigerator to prepare for two hours once the time was up I took it out and put it on a meat plate and as you can see almost nothing changed , but I can guarantee you one thing: this made the chicken more tender and also made it tastier since this is our control, we have to see if any other method surpasses this one, speaking of which these are the ones we are going to use.

We will be trying today, we have pickles, olives and also jalapenos, believe it or not, the first one is very popular. I'm talking about pickles. Now we are not going to grind them or do anything similar, we are simply going to use the pickle juice, it is interesting because the ingredients of the juice are water, salt, distilled vinegar, dried garlic and other things that distinguish a unique flavor. Now I'm not just looking for flavor but also tenderness and an overall experience for this, the big question is: Will it turn out well, well we'll find out very soon, so after using all the juices, you can see that I made sure that each one of them It was perfectly covered with the pickle juice.

Now the only thing left to do is cover it with plastic and I put it in my refrigerator for two hours once the time was up I took it out and took the plastic off and check it out and if there's one thing I can tell you it smells like pickles, I know it . That's to be expected, this thing completely changed color on me and if you look at the other side you can see that the pickle juice penetrated the meat although it didn't go all the way through, but you can clearly see what's going on here now, the big ask.

Did it transfer any of the flavor to the meat or just make it nice and tender? Well, I'll know that very soon. Our next contender is olives and I don't know about you, but I love eating these things. I'm actually addicted. and as you already know, olives have a very strong smell, but unlike pickles, they don't have vinegar inside, so the juice is mainly made of water and salt, so it will be interesting to see what it will do to the chicken speaking of which, I did the exact same process, I just used the juice nothing else and again made sure that every edge of these chickens was perfectly covered with the solution.

I also let it light up the fridge for a total of two hours once the time was up I took it out and oh man the smell hits you in the face, it is by far the strongest smelling as you can see, by far Unlike the other two that had vinegar, it's quite different, it almost looks the same as you came in however the smell is very strong finally our last container will be the jalapenos, I mean I don't know about you but these things are addictive, especially in a sandwich at the same time for people who don't like spicy food and just a flavor this one is good but don't forget it's still a jalapeño so take it easy and like everyone else I just use the juices , nothing more, I mean, later on, if this turns out really good, we always can. blend everything and just marinate with it, but now we have to be fair to the

experiment

, so after making sure each one of them was covered with the juice, the only thing left to do was cover it and let it marinate.

I sat in the refrigerator for two hours once the time was up I took it out and looked at this oh man it looks like this one had the most penetration I mean I know the juice had a little bit of vinegar in it but could it be that the level of Spices from that juice actually did something else and, most importantly, the jalapeño flavor really penetrated the meat. I'm telling you one thing that I'm excited to discover, as you can see this one has the most unique color, but now that we have them all ready the only thing left is to go ahead and season them and for that I try to be as neutral as possible by seasoning them just with salt and pepper yes, you are right, nothing more, my main objective is to find out. how the brine will really affect the meat and by adding any other type of seasoning I think I'm going to ruin it so after seasoning them all the only thing left to do is bag them, vacuum seal them and have them ready. for the water bath, speaking of which, I'll be cooking them all in the same container at 167 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours and I can't wait to find out how it will alter the flavor.

Let me tell you something that feels quite strange every time I'm putting the chickens inside these special liquids and the smell hits you, especially that of the olives, which I enjoy it with, maybe you know when you're having a drink or whatever , but putting it on your chicken coop is a little weird, I'm not, I'm not sure about that at all, but hey, we'll never know if it's good if we don't try it right now. You have to remember that I cook the chickens at 106 degrees. Fahrenheit for two hours, that's enough time to get them really tender and cooked through, but the most important thing is to keep them nice and juicy, here's the deal, they're ready, we're hungry and it's time to take them out, let's do it, let me tell you.

You're something, you can all individually smell each one, what they are, it really shows, you know, I brined them for just two hours, that was enough, believe it or not, as soon as I took out the pickle, you can smell it good. the buttermilk is nice and smooth and it smells wonderful the jalapeno guy that one is strong now here's the plan this is what I'm going to do, I'm going to fry it so we can get a nice crust and the reason that's because I want to that they are all at the same time and at the same temperature, so there is no difference between them except the brine.

I'll set my oil to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, that means I'll pour it in for no more than a minute each and take it out so we can evaluate which is better without anything else getting in the way of the flavor if that makes any sense what I'm saying but This is the deal. I know my chickens don't look so good, right? Now, but check this out before we go any further, I want to thank today's sponsor.
