Pickle juice in the marinade is the secret to this chicken’s distinctive flavor.

Makes 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ cups pickle juice and brining mixture, from 2 (24-ounce) pickle* jars

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pickle juice, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and oil, whisking to combine. Add parsley, dill, rosemary, and oregano, stirring well.
- Divide chicken breasts among 3 resealable plastic bags. Pour marinade over top. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 12 hours, turning bags halfway through chilling time.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 350° to 400°). Cook over direct heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Move to indirect heat. Cook until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°, 10 to 15 minutes more.
