mind me asking what you used for a brine... thinking of brining some cornish hens.

 

[bgosnell151]

by the way... that looks great... really moist.

 

[moses]

1/2 gal cold water
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Dales marinade

Soaked meat for 4 hrs then rinsed and patted dry then added evoo and my rub

I did my first brine over the weekend.

2 gal cold water

2 cups sugar

2 cups sea salt

fresh garlic ( I love garlic so I used alot.)

Fresh onion out of our garden.

Let sit over night and it was the moistest bird I have ever had!

 

[moses]

Can you use the same type of brine for pork?

 

[red rooster]

I have never brined pork. I use a straight rub on pork.

Pork rub

Garlic powder

onion powder

brown sugar

 wrap in plastic and let sit over night in the fridge.

That's all I've ever done. Just curious if a brine would bring more moisture to the pork.

I also did a brined chicken on Sunday.  Turned out great.  Mine ended up looking awfully similar to yours!

Very nice!
