grilled pickle-brined chicken sandwiches
 Thoughts on bread & butter bubbies versus using dill bubbies for this? We are a house divided on the great pickle debate and I am curious how vital the bread & butter pickle type is for the recipe. Inquiring, pickle-loving minds need to know. : ) Expand full comment Dill are FAB too but the sugar in the BB makes things next level. Expand full comment Should we use boneless skinless thighs?? Expand full comment Crap - yes!!!!! Expand full comment Haha. I read it three times and wanted to assume but also wanted to check with you! Expand full comment I made this today, July 4th! I marinated in dill because I didn’t have bread and butter. However, for the sauce, I added in sweet and sour relish, along with some pickled jalapenos. Delicious and brought in some sweetness and heat. Yum!! Expand full comment These sandwiches were so freaking delicious! It was like elevated fast food. Expand full comment We make these weekly, and I can say it's awesome with both dill and bread and butter (but BB is def next level!) Expand full comment Made this tonight and the chicken was so juicy and good. Very easy hosting friends! I did fancy-up the zucchini as you directed. I always appreciate all your options! Expand full comment Asking for a friend... Marinated a bunch of chicken last night (felt so good about actually giving it more than 30 mins!) and then didnt get a chance to grill it tonight... Will it be ok to grill tomorrow? It looks a little like chicken ceviche lol 😂 Expand full comment Wanted this recipe but didn’t want to run to the store. Made these tonight with the jar of Pepperoncini juice (and sad last 4 peppers) that’s been staring at me for months. It was delish. Not spicy, even my 2.5 year old ate it no problem. Made quick pickles with a leftover cucumber from yesterdays dinner. 10 out of 10. Expand full comment Any chance that sauerkraut brine would work on these? Expand full comment Made this Tuesday night. HELLOO summer rotation meal. This was so great. Used sweet heat bread and butter pickles. 🥒 Expand full comment What are folks thoughts on adding cheese to these? I normally wouldn't add cheese to a chicken thigh, but it was so good on the balsamic chicken sandwich I was thinking of trying it with this recipe... Like, havarti or something? Expand full comment Do you grill the zucchini with the lid open or closed? Expand full comment Always grill lid closed unless a recipe specifically says open Expand full comment Even though my propane went out at the end, they turned out great! Reminded me of a BK Broiler, but way better. It was a great way to use up all the brine left in my Costco pickle jar. Expand full comment Making this tonight (with Dill because B & B is a hard pass for me). Expand full comment can you use another protein/meat besides chicken on this by chance? i'm currently turned off by chicken but this recipe sounds so good! Expand full comment pork sandwiches would be so good! i'd marinate a pork tenderloin, grill it (about 4 minutes per "side" -- 12 to 15 total -- then thinly slice it and pile it onto the bun. yum! Expand full comment Yum! perfect - thank you!! and thanks for the quick reply :) Expand full comment Omg I feel like a grilling goddess these turned out amazing! The step by step instructions for oil cleaning etc was so helpful. Yummyyyyy Expand full comment
