Brining

[jgervais]

I've been afraid of brining for some silly reason. I wish I didn't wait so long to try it, especially on some of the tough older chickens.

I finally brined a 1 year old rooster and it was the most delicious chicken I've ever cooked!

Heres the story and recipe with a pic of the finished product:

Glad you gave it a try and had such good results. Ever though of brining in apple cider? Fabulous! 1/2 cup salt to 2 cups apple cider then add water to cover the chicken.

Apple Cider seems good for everything! I can only imagine how awesome it would be in a brine. I will try that next for sure.

oooo yeah, that sounds good! I am just beginning my brining journey, and I tried a bit of lemon juice in my last batch, and it was tasty. I think I will try your idea next! Thanks!
