Best Brines

[meathunter]

Give me your best Brines for chicken, pork, or anything you might brine....

[Meatcutter]

I mainly use brines on chicken. Sometimes on a pork tender. 5\6lbs chicken, cut in half, zip lock bag, 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 sugar, fill with water and soak......

[cashbuck]

I brine half chickens overnight using:

1 gallon water
3/4 cup Kosher Salt
2/3 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Olive Oil

I brine half chickens overnight using:

1 gallon water
3/4 cup Kosher Salt
2/3 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Olive Oil

I use a similar mixture but add chopped onion and garlic sauteed in the oil then mix into the brine.

I'll do chickens and pork with this up to three days.

[Cajun Blake]

Crawfish boil with a little brown sugar, fennel, peppercorn, and celery seeds

[Neuse]

I always squeeze fresh orange juice into my turkey/chicken brine.

[D.A. HUNTER]

Cajun Blake his much of the crawfish boil do you use for the brine

[The Texan]

I've always just used sugar and salt and add 2x more salt than sugar and add until it stops dissolving and leave if for 24 hours. I think allot of brining is about the chemical reaction

Put meat in big pot, deep enough to have 2 inches between the meat and the top. Fill pot with water with the meat in it. then pull meat out and add 1/2 cup salt, a few shakes of ragin blaze, and 4 table spoons brown sugar. wisk to dissolve then add meat back in pot with a ceramic bowl on top to push it below water line. I then leave in fridge for 24 hours turning meat ever 8 hours
