A cracker or a small, thin piece of bread or toast spread with cheese, meat, or relish and served as an appetizer. [French, from canapÃ©, couch, from Medieval Latin canÄpÄum, mosquito net; see canopy.]
Pickle brine is a traditional Polish hangover remedy as well, say the Strybels: Fill a glass with equal parts chilled pickle brine and ice-cold club soda, and drink the mixture down at once.
In a zip bag, brine the chicken in the pickle juice for 2-12 hours. Reserve pickles. In a deep cast iron skillet, heat enough oil to submerge chicken to 360F. Drain the chicken. Dip in buttermilk and dredge the chicken lightly in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Fry the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
