45mlkosher salt

ice cubes

30mlavocado oil

30mlpoultry seasoning

make sure there is no added sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Cut each chicken breast on the diagonal into 3 long portions.

Step 2

Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil. Combine the boiling water and salt in a large glass or metal bowl. When the salt is dissolved, pour in a quart of cold water and add enough ice cubes to cool. Add the chicken slices and enough cold water so that the chicken is covered by 1 to 2 inches. Put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the chicken. If you don’t want the chicken to be salty, rinse it now, but it’s not necessary. Mix the oil and poultry seasoning in the empty bowl, then toss the chicken in the oil. Let sit for a few minutes.

Step 4

Heat a grill to medium-high heat. When hot, place the chicken slices on the grill and close the lid. Cook for about 4 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), another 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and serve.
