Ingredients :
- 1 whole chicken (3-6 pounds)
- 8 quart stock pot
- 1 gallon water (cool tap water)
- 1/2 cup regular table salt
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 lemon halved and squeezed into brine
Method :
- Please refer to my Southern Style Brined Oven Roasted Crispy Chicken recipe as a basis on how to cook this.
- Pour tap water and remaining ingredients into your stock pot. Stir and allow for the salt and sugar to dissolve. 10-20 minutes.
- Add chicken and and allow to soak in brine for at least 2 hours refrigerated. Overnight is optimal.
- If using boneless skinless breast or the like, 2-4 hours soaking is fine. Cook brined chicken as desired. Cut up and fried, roasted, smoked, grilled,etc. No matter how you choose to cook it, it makes a big difference taste wise. Enjoy
- Feel free to add any herbs that you like. Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, Oregano, Etc. Even add a bottle of your favorite beer. Have fun with it. This is also excellent for pork and turkey as well. There is no substitution for salt in this recipe.
