Apple-Infused Chicken Brine

Apple-Infused Chicken Brine balances gentle sweetness from apple juice with the savory depth of vegetable broth, creating a fragrant base that keeps chicken exceptionally juicy. Kosher salt, black pepper, and herbes de Provence add layered herbal notes and a clean finish. Use it to brine whole birds or pieces before roasting or grilling for fuller flavor and tenderness.
