      Title: Pickle-Brined Chicken
 Categories: Poultry, Wine, Herbs, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
     64 oz Jar dill pickles
  2 1/2 lb (6) bone-in chicken thighs;
           - skinned if desired
    1/4 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Ground black pepper
      1 tb Vegetable oil
    1/4 c  Dry white wine
    3/4 c  Chicken broth
      1 tb Butter
      1 tb Chopped fresh dill
      2    Dill pickles; coarse
           - chopped
    1/4 c  Chopped red sweet pepper
 
  Drain pickles, reserving brine (about 4 cups). Place
  pickles in an airtight container. Store, covered, in the
  refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Add chicken to brine in a
  large pickle jar or place in a large resealable plastic
  bag set in a bowl; seal jar or bag. Chill for 8 to 24
  hours.
  
  Set oven @ 475ºF/245ºC.
  
  Remove chicken from brine; pat dry. Discard brine. In a
  small bowl combine flour and pepper. Coat chicken with
  flour mixture; shake off any excess.
  
  In a large, heavy ovenproof skillet heat oil over
  medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down; sear until
  golden brown, about 8 minutes. Turn chicken; transfer
  skillet to oven. Bake 15 minutes or until juices run
  clear. Remove from oven. Transfer chicken to platter; let
  rest 5 minutes.
  
  Return skillet to stove. Remove fat from skillet,
  reserving 1 Tbsp. in the pan. Return skillet to heat. Add
  wine; bring to boiling over medium-high heat. Using a
  wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits from the bottom of
  the pan until wine nearly evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add
  broth; bring to boiling until reduced to about 1/2 cup,
  about 2 minutes. Stir in butter. Season to taste with
  pepper. Remove from heat; stir in dill. Pour sauce over
  chicken. Top with chopped pickles and red sweet peppers
  before serving.
