Ingredients
- 6 cups water warm
- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp kosher salt Do NOT use table salt, coarse
- 2½ tbsp honey
- 1 lemon sliced
- 3-4 parsley fresh, sprigs
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 rosemary fresh sprigs
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp black peppercorns
Instructions
- Make the brine, by mixing warm water with the salt and honey in a large glass bowl or baking dish; stir until the salt and honey are dissolved. Cool completely then add the lemon slices, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, bay leaves, garlic cloves, and black peppercorns.
- To use brine, place chicken in the brine, cover, and refrigerate for two hours for skinless breasts, 4 hours for bone-in pieces, and 4 hours to 24 hours for whole chickens.
- After brining, remove the chicken from the brine (discard brine), rinse the chicken under cold water then pat dry. For best results, place the chicken on a plate and place it in the refrigerator for an hour to dry the skin completely.
- Take the chicken out of the refrigerator an hour before seasoning then roasting, baking, or pan searing. Enjoy.
