    Take one chicken breast, sliced about an inch thick and then pounded to half that. Marinate the pieces in pickle brine for about a day, then dry, bread, and fry them.

    Just as good as Chik fil a and you don’t have to even leave the house. And one chicken breast can make 5-6 patties

      I’m pretty sure there chicken is not actually pickle brined. I can’t stand the taste of pickles and I order every sandwich without them. I can’t eat the Popeyes chicken sandwich because I can still taste the pickles they were brined with, but I don’t get a hint of pickles from chickfila’s sandwiches.

          There’s no way Chick-fil-A does it. I got a few bites into the Popeye’s sandwich and then realized they weird, off putting flavor was a pickle brine. I order all chicken sandwiches plain, since I have a really sensitive tongue and can’t stand the taste of pickles. The only time there was a hint of pickle flavor in a Chick-fil-A sandwich is if the person who bagged the sandwich had pickle juice on their gloves when they grabbed the patty.

          I think they just salt brine their chicken and the common misconception that they pickle brine comes from the fact that pickles are a vile vegetable whose juice soaks deep into whatever they touch and most people order them with pickles.
