Pour the pickling liquid over veggies, screw on the lid, and allow the vegetables to pickle in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 24 hours in advance.
2. CHICKEN: Combine the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, mayo, lime zest, and sriracha (if using) in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, cover and allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours. Cook the chicken on an indoor grill or outdoor grill until cooked through.
