Dill Pickle Chicken Marinade

If you love pickle juice chicken, this version takes it to the next level. It’s briny, zesty, and loaded with flavor thanks to fresh dill, garlic, pickle juice, and a kick of heat from hot sauce or chili flakes. Grill it, air fry it, or bake it—it’s juicy every time and totally addictive.
