Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 ½ cups Dill Pickle Juice
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: In a big bowl, mix the pickle juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Step 2: Put the chicken breasts into the bowl using tongs, making sure they are well covered with the marinade.
- Step 3: Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can.
- Step 4: When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil the grill grates so the chicken won’t stick.
- Step 5: Put the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook each side for 5-7 minutes, or until the inside of the chicken is 165 degrees F.
- Step 6: Take the chicken off the grill and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Step 7: Slice the chicken and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Thinner chicken breasts or pounding thick breasts helps them soak up marinade and cook more evenly. Marinating for 4-6 hours is recommended for the best texture.
