Hi all,
Been reading the posts on brining and want to make sure I am getting this right.
In one post it said if you don't have room in the fridge, you could add ice to your bird and brine. Is that correct? would you add enough for the 10-12 hour soak?
I am pretty sure a 5 gall bucket wouldn't fit in my fridge. So I am assuming I could have the bird(s) brine in the garage as long as they have enough ice to stay below 40[sup:b82a97f6f7]o[/sup:b82a97f6f7], is that correct?
Also, I have a Char-griller, when I want to smoke the chickens, can I just lay them on the grates, breast side up I would assume, or is a BCC rack the better way to go?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
