ingredients
directions
Prepare and rinse chickens. Make sure brine is cold before you place the birds in it or they will absorb too much salt. Place one whole chicken into a gallon-sized ziplock baggy along with 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of brine. Shake bag every hour or so to redistribute brine. Allow chicken to sit in brine for up to 12 hours. |
