Blackstone Pickle Brined Chicken Sandwiches is a flavorful and unique dinner recipe idea for your flat top griddle using leftover pickle juice
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
- 1 cup leftover pickle juice/ brine
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- seasoning blend of choice (I used Blackstone Dill Pickle Chicken seasoning)
- cooking oil of choice
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices cheese of choice (or shredded cheese of choice)
- Toppings of choice: mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese, more pickles, see notes for another sauce option
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a gallon size plastic bag. Add the pickle juice and brown sugar. Massage the bag until the brown sugar is dissolved. Place in a large bowl (in case of a leak) and into the fridge for 24 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the bag, discard the bag and brine. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides lightly with seasoning blend of choice.
- Preheat your Blackstone or griddle to medium heat. Add some cooking oil and the chicken. Cook 9 to 12 minutes, flipping a few times. Place the burger buns, cut side down, on the griddle for a minute to toast them.
- Add cheese over the chicken, cover with a lid or melting dome until cheese is melted.
- Assemble the sandwiches with cheesy chicken on the buns with toppings of choice such as mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese, more pickles, also see notes for another sauce option.
