Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 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 dill pickle juice, brown sugar, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  • Use tongs to place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • 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 breasts on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then it’s ready to slice and enjoy.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.
