Pickle Juice Marinade
Description
This recipe uses a unique marinade sachet of dill pickle juice combined with brown sugar and seasonings to flavor chicken breasts. The acid and salt in the pickle juice help to tenderize the meat, while brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness, and pepper flakes provide warmth. Marinating for several hours allows the flavors to penetrate deeply.
Grilling the chicken at a moderate temperature ensures even cooking to a safe internal temperature while preserving juiciness. After resting, the chicken is ready to slice, making it suitable for main dishes or sandwiches.
Leftover marinated grilled chicken stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Using an instant-read thermometer is recommended for safe doneness.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 ½ cups dill pickle juice
- 1 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except for the chicken.
- Use tongs to place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Then preheat the grill to 350 degrees F. Gently brush the grates of the grill with the oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per size until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Then remove the chicken from the grill, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then it’s ready to slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Store leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container refrigerated for up to five days to keep it fresh.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
