Steps:
- Use a pot big enough to hold you meat. Dissolve kosher salt in water in the pot on slow simmer for about 2 minutes. The basic ratio is one tablespoon of salt for every one cup water.
- Now throw in all the fancy flavor enhancing ingredients into water. Add crushed garlic, pepper corns, bay leaves, lemon slices, honey and fresh herbs - rosemary, thyme and parsley.
- Bring water to boil for about a minute, stir to dissolve salt.
- Remove pan from stove. Allow water to cool completely.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT put chicken in the brine before it's completely cool. Warm temperature of the brine will make scary harmful bacteria's in the chicken. It can lead to serious health hazards!
- Cook's Tip: To help brine cool down faster, allow the pot to cool down a bit and then place the pot in fridge to cool brine faster and cool it completely.
- Place whole chicken in cooled brine.
- NOTE: chicken should be fully immersed in brine.
- Cover pot with lid and brine chicken inside refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours. Do not go past that. Chicken will begin to absorb salt and will turn overly salty.
- Note: if chicken isn't fully immersed in water, go ahead and add 1 to 2 cups of extra water (room temperature water).
- After brining, remove chicken from brine. Rinse under tap water.
- IMPORTANT: Don't skip rinsing brined chicken under tap water. This will wash off some of the salt over the chicken. I found when not rinsed, brine chicken after roasting turned a bit salty.
- DISCARD THE BRINE. Raw meat in the brine marinade can cause contamination if used. Discard brine after removing chicken from it.

QUICK & EASY CHICKEN BRINE
This comes from an episode of "Cooking for Real" with Sunny Anderson. The brining portion is all that is listed here; however, if you are interested in the chicken recipe in it's entirety, it's called "Grilled Chicken with White Wine Mushroom Sauce". I needed a brine for a smaller amount of poultry.
