Instructions
 

  • Place chicken in a large bowl or ziploc bag. Add half the pickles from a pint jar and all the juices, garlic, onions, and seasonings from the pickles. Add olive juice and make sure the chicken is submerged. Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.
    Brine the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large bowl or bag with the brine of pickle juice, pickles, onions, garlic, peppercorns, and olive oil. Make sure the chicken is fully submerged in the liquid.
  • Remove from marinade, and pat dry. Season with the 1 tablespoon Dan-o's Seasoning. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat juicy.
    1 tablespoon Dan-o's Seasoning
    Season the Chicken for the Grill: Remove the chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the brine. Lightly season the chicken with Dan-O chicken seasoning or salt and pepper on
  • Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.
