Categories     Poultry

Time 3h5m

Yield 1 chicken

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 gallon cold water
1 cup table salt or 2 cups kosher salt
2 cups sugar
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) roasting chickens

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot (I use a large zip-lock bag).
  • Add the chicken and let soak in the refrigerator for 3 1/2 to 4 hours (or 1 hour per pound).
  • Rinse the chicken or other meat and cook as you usually would. It will be edible, but very salty if this is not done.
  • I have also used this techique for brining pork and beef.
