The juiciest chicken marinated in pickle juice! This pickle brine chicken combines chicken, salt, pepper, and pickle juice for an easy chicken marinade that yields super tender and moist meat. Super versatile, goes with just about any side dish, and is great for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups pickle juice ((or enough to cover your chicken))

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate your chicken. Add chicken to a large baking dish, shallow bowl, or plastic bag. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour over your pickle juice, making sure to cover the chicken. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer the better.

  2. 2

    Grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450 degrees). Once hot, place chicken close to direct heat and grill for 6-8 minutes. Flip and move to indirect heat (not directly over fire/coals) and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on how your chicken is, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes.

    Enjoy! Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
