For a deeper pickle flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. If you don't have freeze-dried dill, fresh dill can be used. Use about 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh dill. Serve these grilled chicken thighs with your favorite barbecue sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled corn on the cob.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
4 hrs
In a resealable plastic bag, immerse chicken thighs in dill pickle juice, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight. (Marinating time: 4+ hours)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika, dill, and black pepper to create a flavorful basting mixture.
04
Step
3 mins
Remove chicken thighs from the pickle juice marinade and discard the used marinade. Generously brush all sides of the chicken with the seasoned oil mixture.
05
Step
12 mins
Place the marinated and seasoned chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This should take approximately 12 minutes, but use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (Cook time: 12 minutes)
