Quick Chicken Brine Recipe (How to Brine Chicken)

Step 1

First, you would need a pot large enough to fit the chicken and the brine.

Step 2

Add salt, sugar, and herbs into a pan, add 2 cups of water and mix to combine. Place it over medium heat and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely in the water.

Step 3

Leave the brine to cool down completely. (I used a smaller saucepan for this step) Once the brine is completely cooled, top it up with another 4 cups of cold water (I used 6 cups of water in total)

Step 4

Place the chicken in a large pot and pour the brine over it. Cover it with a lid and place in the bottom of the fridge for up to 4 hours or 24 hours preferably.
