Description

This recipe for chicken marinated in pickle juice yields some tender grilled chicken, so save the juice the next time you reach for the last pickle.

Ingredients

4 skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 cups dill pickle juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freeze-dried dill
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Place chicken thighs in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag; add pickle juice to the bag and toss chicken to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3 Whisk olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika, dill, and black pepper together. Remove chicken from pickle juice; discard the juice. Brush all sides of chicken with seasoned oil.
4 Cook on the preheated grill, flipping halfway through, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part, near but not touching bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
