Dill Pickle Ranch Chicken is a flavorful twist on traditional chicken, marinated in dill pickle juice and seasoned for a deliciously tangy and savory dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 2 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) dill pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup dill pickle ranch dressing, divided
  • Fresh dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the pickle juice over the chicken, making sure it is fully submerged.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the pickle juice.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Divide the dill pickle ranch dressing between two small bowls (about ½ cup each bowl). Reserve one bowl for brushing the chicken during cooking and the other for serving.
  8. Brush the chicken with the dill pickle ranch dressing reserved for cooking.
  9. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with the reserved dill pickle ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • You can marinate the chicken for 24 hours for a stronger flavor.
  • This recipe works well on the grill as well as in the oven.
  • For extra crunch, consider broiling for the last few minutes of cooking.
