Grilled Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups cold water
• ¼ cup kosher salt
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp chicken rub
• ½ cup Dillightful BBQ Sauce
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp dill pickle juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Pound the thick ends so the breasts are an even ¾ inch. Dissolve salt and sugar in water and brine the chicken for 30 minutes under refrigeration.

2. 2

   Pat dry, coat with oil and season with chicken rub. Heat the grill for two-zone cooking at medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Grill over direct heat for 4–5 minutes per side until marked, then move to indirect heat if needed.

4. 4

   Mix sauce, butter and pickle juice. Brush both sides when the chicken reaches about 150°F and cook until the center reaches 165°F.

5. 5

   Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra warm sauce rather than reusing the brush or sauce that touched raw chicken.
