Juicy chicken skewers marinated in dill pickle brine and coated in a dill ranch seasoning. Perfect for grilling, baking, or air frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup dill pickle brine
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Bell peppers and onions, cut into chunks for skewers

Instructions

  1. Place chicken pieces in a resealable bag. Pour in dill pickle brine, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat your grill, oven to 400°F (200°C), or air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  4. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Discard brine.
  5. Add chicken to the olive oil mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  6. If using, thread chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper and onion chunks.
  7. Grill: Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
  8. Oven: Place skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is cooked through.
  9. Air Fryer: Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through.
  10. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • For best results, use chicken thighs as they stay moist.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
  • Serve with your favorite low-carb sides like cauliflower rice or a side salad.
  • These skewers are great for meal prep; cook ahead and reheat.
