This is a very nice way to prepare a fowl for baking. It leaves a very moist, delicious result. Ingredients:
1 gallon cold water |
1 cup table salt or 2 cups kosher salt |
2 cups sugar |
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) roasting chickens |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot (I use a large zip-lock bag).
2. Add the chicken and let soak in the refrigerator for 3 1/2 to 4 hours (or 1 hour per pound).
3. Rinse the chicken or other meat and cook as you usually would. It will be edible, but very salty if this is not done.
4. I have also used this techique for brining pork and beef.
