Pickle-Brined Chicken Thighs with Crispy Smashed Potatoes

SERVES: 6 PREP: 20 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 30 minutes

Looking for a weeknight chicken dinner that doesn’t feel boring? These juicy, golden-brown chicken thighs get an upgrade from a tangy pickle brine that makes the meat extra tender and flavorful. Paired with crispy smashed potatoes roasted right in the same pan, this dish is equal parts cozy comfort food and crave-worthy indulgence. Fresh dill, garlicky notes, and a pop of pickle slices on top seal the deal—this is sheet-pan magic you’ll want to make on repeat.

One 23.6-ounce jar kosher dill pickles

A handful of dill fronds, plus more for garnish

3 cloves garlic, smashed

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning the water and chicken

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 pounds baby potatoes

¾ cup olive oil, divided
