Serving Size: 1 gallon

Cooking Time: 250 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Gallon warm water
• 0.75 Cups kosher salt
• 0.75 Cups soy sauce
• 0.67 Cups sugar
• 0.25 Cups olive oil

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients to ensure you have everything on hand.
2. Pour the warm water into a large container that is at least twice the volume of the water to allow room for mixing.
3. Add the kosher salt, soy sauce, sugar, and olive oil to the water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
4. Allow the brine to cool to room temperature before using it to ensure it does not start cooking the chicken prematurely.
5. Submerge your chicken in the brine, ensuring it is fully covered. For best results, use a food-grade, nonreactive container such as a stainless steel or enameled stockpot.
6. Cover the container and refrigerate. Brine skinless chicken breasts for 2 hours, bone-in pieces for 4 hours, and whole chickens for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
7. After brining, remove the chicken from the brine, rinse it under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Proceed with your preferred cooking method.

Enjoy the enhanced flavor and juiciness of your perfectly brined chicken!
