You need to brine your chicken for at least an hour using dill pickle juice. Pickle juice is THE key ingredient for replicating that Chic-fil-A taste.

So I’m gonna brine them out of two almost empty bread butter containers I’ll dump breasts in large container and give it shot.

I saw it at the grocery store just a few days ago. It might have been on the shelf for years and I never noticed it before or it could be a brand new thing; all I know is that it's a new thing for me!

it calls for marinading the chix in buttermilk,
For about four hours.

I use regular milk with a tablespoon or so of pickle juice in it.

Brioche buns, make all the difference in the world with this sandwich. I recommend using.these.

I also use about a teaspoon of taco mix in the dipping sauce
