This pickle brine chicken just flat gets it. Chicken is tasty, but it sure needs love. This is my go-to for just about any chicken I make, and for good reason. The ingredients may look, unusual. Just know that your favorite fast casual fried chicken, the ones you wait in line hours for, follow a *very* similar playbook. This chicken can be grilled as is, or fried using a similar technique to my Hot Honey Chicken. Either way, this one is a Winner Winner Pickle Brine Chicken Dinner!
