Advice1) Make sure chickens are completely cleaned prior to starting the brine process. Keep the birds fridge until right before putting in brine. 2) Since the above mix is over 2 1/2 gallons total (with dissolved ice) with 1 1/4 cups salt, you can keep it brining a little longer without going "oversalt". 3) Make sure to completely rinse off chicken in a sink, and pat dry before cooking. |
