Complete the meal with a side of creamy cucumber salad and some garlic dill french fries! The pickle juice imparts a nice little twang of flavor. But most importantly, it makes it super tender and juicy. Once it’s lightly breaded then baked in the oven until crispy, it becomes a healthier version of your favorite fried chicken. We like to serve it with those little sweet pickles for a nearly real fried chicken experience. That’s it! You’ve just made pickle brine chicken! Option #1: Freeze the chicken submerged in pickle juice in bags (we love these reusable Stasher freezer bags!) When you’re ready to finish making the recipe, thaw the chicken in the fridge overnight then continue to bread and bake it. Option #2: Bread the brined chicken but do not bake it. Instead, freeze it on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Once the chicken is frozen, you can move it to a freezer bag for storage. Cook the chicken from frozen, adding 10 minutes to cook time.

When we make pickle brine chicken, we usually opt to serve it beside a big green salad tossed in our lifesaving lemony dressing.
