Chicken Brine Needed
« on: August 23, 2010, 07:48:58 AM »
So, I want to brine a chicken or two and the slowcook/smoke them in my grill. If you can help me with a brine to soak them in I'll take care of the rest. Thanks in advance.

I have never used any measurments, but I usually start with about 2 qt of water add about 1/2 cup of salt. Then I play around with other spices, and often throw in some brown sugar. I will usually add 1-2 bay leaves. I put this in a plastic garbage bag and seal up tight. Then you don't have to keep turning like you would in bowl. The bag and birds I will put in a large bowl or bucket (depending on how many you have, also works with a turkey). Brine for 12 hrs or so. Then rinse. I will often use external seasonings/rub after the rinse before smoking or roasting on the big green egg or rotisserie. You can even work these rubs under the skin, to add extra flavor.

I like to jam some large whole fresh sage leaves underneath the skin when I do them on the rotisserie.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I have a friend that uses plain yogurt mixed with indian spices and lubes this good under the skin for turkeys (could also be tried on chicken). Interesting. I may find some cheap birds and try it.
