This is a fabulous and simple chicken brine/marinade that leaves the bird wonderfully juicy inside.
Ingredients
- 1 gallon cool water
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup kosher salt
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle mesquite-flavored marinade (such as Lawry's®)
Directions
Step 1
Pour water into a large brining container. Add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved. Mix in the marinade until brine is combined.
Cook’s Note:
I use 2-gallon Ziploc(R) bags set in a large kettle for my brine container.

I made this for some cornish hens I smoked over the weekend. One word. Excellent! My only regret is that I didn’t smoke a few more birds so that I could have leftovers for lunches. The brine made the birds super tender and full of flavor. They were so moist that they would re-heat nicely as well. As I mentioned, I did smoke my chicken instead of bake it and smoking has a tendency to dry things out but not with this brine. This one is a keeper! Thanks duboo!

While brining always helps my chicken stay moist, the flavor of this brine was not near as tasty as I anticipated. The herb bribed chicken was much preferred by my guests.

Very simple brine that really works. The brine tenderizes the meat and makes it absorb the smoke from smoker. My turkey was extremely flavorful and super tender.

As did another person, I smoked my chicken parts and a venison roast instead of baking, both turned out delicious. This was a dry run for thanksgiving. I?m sure the rest of the family will enjoy it as much as we did.
