Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1 1/2 cups jalapeno juice (leftover juice from a jar of pickled jalapenos)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Old Bay seasoning
Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in a gallon size plastic bag. Add the jalapeno juice and brown sugar. Massage the bag until the brown sugar is dissolved. Place in a large bowl (in case of a leak) and into the fridge for 24 hours.

  2. Remove the chicken from the bag, discard the bag and brine. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides lightly with Old Bay seasoning.

  3. Grill over medium to medium high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness of the chicken.
