Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Pickle juice (Use any type for best flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Can substitute with avocado oil)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (Garlic powder can also be used – 1 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly cracked is preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (Smoked paprika enhances the smokiness)
- 4 Chicken breasts (Boneless, skinless breasts work best)
Instructions
- Combine the marinade: In a bowl, combine the pickle juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Add the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Seal and refrigerate: Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for even better results.
- Cook the chicken: When ready, heat your grill, oven, or frying pan, and cook the chicken until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Notes
For maximum flavor, allow the chicken to marinate overnight. Consider adding a tablespoon of honey for sweetness. Grill over medium heat for even cooking.
