Brined Chicken (New Recipe)
Decided to grill some chicken for supper, but getting tired of the same ole same ole.So I thought I would kick up my brine and see If it makes a difference in the flavor.
1 quart of water
1 cup of brown sugar
½ cup salt
¼ cup regular sugar
¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 TB. Black pepper corns
1 TB. Juniper Berry's
½ tsp. garlic powder
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. Tony’s
1 cup of Bourbon
Mixed all ingredients in a pot on the stove stirred till everything was mixed and almost up to a simmer. Pulled off burner added ice cubes to cool it down and poured it over the chicken I had in a zip lock bag sitting in a metal bowel.
Into the fridge till this evening.
Removed chicken from fridge, poured off brine, rinsed and patted dry.
Rubbed with a little EVOO and some Rub, then onto the grill,
I usually cook chicken at about 300º on the grill.
Wow !! the flavor is outstanding, Next time I'll let them go overnight to get a stronger flavor.
You pick up a taste of everything, My Wife loved it.
Here are a few pics
Flash on my phone/camera makes the chicken look yellow
