Viral Salt and Vinegar Chicken
Description: Chris's viral salt and vinegar chicken is a fast and flavorful weeknight dinner. The marinade is a quick flash brine that packs chicken thighs with flavor in just 15-30 minutes. This recipe uses only 3 ingredients and takes about 25 minutes total.
Ingredients
- 15 chicken thighs (approx 2.5-3 pounds)
- 1 quart distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 to 1 cup kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat grill on medium-high.
- Combine the vinegar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
- Add the chicken to the liquid and marinate it for 15 minutes.
- Carefully oil the grill grate. Add the chicken pieces and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes for grill marks. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Move the chicken to the higher rack, and cook for another 5-7 minutes to develop more browning without overcooking, until the thighs have reached an internal temperature of 175 degrees.
