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
