Ingredients
  

  • Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Dill pickle juice
  • Olive oil
  • Powdered sugar
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder & onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cut the Chicken into Even Pieces

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets. Keep them similar in size so they cook evenly.

Step 2: Marinate for Flavor and Tenderness

  • Place chicken in a bag or bowl. Pour in pickle juice, olive oil, and sugar. Toss gently.

Step 3: Season Before Cooking

  • Remove chicken from the marinade and pat lightly with paper towels. Sprinkle on paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Heat Your Grill or Pan Properly

  • Preheat your grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. A hot surface ensures good grill marks and prevents sticking.

Step 5: Grill Until Juicy

  • Place nuggets on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side. Use a thermometer if you have one. 165°F is the sweet spot.
