try this for really moist chicken on the grill. prep time doesn't reflect brining time. this is from fine cooking. Ingredients:
1/4 cup kosher salt |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
3 cups water |
4 slices lemons |
1 tablespoon black peppercorns |
1 tablespoon mustard seeds |
1 tablespoon coriander seed |
3/4 cup strong coffee |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. combine the brine ingredients, except coffee in a saucepan, heat until sugar and salt dissolve pour into a large bowl, stir in coffee, refrigerate until cool.
2. add chicken and use a small plate to keep it submerged 2-3 hours.
3. heat grill to high.
4. remove chicken from brine, blot with paper towels, and brush with oil or butter on both sides grill 4-8 minutes, moving halfway to create grill marks.
5. turn over and grill 4-6 minutes more until done.
