Most people and chain makers count all the links inner and outer, so a 114 link chain measures 57". In some contexts a link might mean the pair (inner and outer) but this is rare, and you'll know by the context.
It might be easier if we were clear and counted pitches. Since chain has 1/2" pitch, 114 pitches would clearly mean 57" without possibility of error.
