Didn't like that the salt was just chilling at the bottom so took the suggestion of other recipes and heated the brine to dissolve the salt (did not boil). Also didn't have dill so just left it out. Used minced garlic. We'll see how it turns out after letting it sit for a few hours.
Used chicken tenders. Used regular paprika instead of smoked. Quadrupled recipe twice - mixed all ingredients together (6oz cheese for 1 quadruple) and tossed chicken then topped with more cheese.
Didn't have enough butter so substituted melted shortening. Melted separately from butter. Only had 8 muffin liners so filled those and put rest of batter in a bread pan. Made a short loaf. Think muffin top when you eat it. Make sure to let loaf cool more before trying to remove it from the pan. The bottom separated. I did grease the pan. Loaf took probably twice as long as muffins to cook. Checked it every few minutes.
