DILL PICKLE CHICKEN



Dill Pickle Chicken image

A succulent chicken dish that has a thick rich tangy sauce perfect for dipping crusty bread! I like to serve this over plain noodles, sometimes topping it with Cheddar cheese. Yum, yum, yum. It is super simple and uses ingredients most households always have on hand. Although dill pickles are added, the dish it doesn't taste a bit like pickles; however, they definitely make the dish by adding a special something. Warning--this a lick-your-fingers recipe, enjoy!

Provided by MSMUM1977

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Baked and Roasted

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 chicken leg quarters with skin, split into drumsticks and thighs
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
½ cup finely chopped dill pickles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Season chicken pieces with seasoned salt and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, discarding any accumulated grease from the skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding balsamic vinegar. Stir gently to loosen any browned bits, until the vinegar has reduced by half and looks syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes and pickles, breaking the tomatoes into smaller pieces with a spoon. Bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cover tightly with a lid or foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Uncover and continue to cook until the sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim off any accumulated grease before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Fresh, firm, and unwaxed pickling cucumbers are ideal for dill pickles.
  • Prepare the cucumbers properly: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and trim the ends. For best results, slice the cucumbers into uniform pieces or spears.
  • Use a clean container: Sterilize the jars and lids before using them. This will help prevent spoilage.
  • Make sure the brine is strong enough: The brine should be strong enough to preserve the pickles. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of salt for every quart of water.
  • Add flavorings and spices: Customize the flavor of your pickles by adding herbs, spices, and other flavorings. Dill, garlic, and red pepper flakes are all popular options.
  • Let the pickles ferment: The fermentation process is what gives dill pickles their characteristic sour flavor. Allow the pickles to ferment for at least 2 weeks before eating them.
  • Store the pickles properly: Once the pickles are fermented, store them in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.
