Richard's brine for chicken

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
¾cupSalt; (non iodized)
½cupSugar
¼cupMolasses
1tablespoonOnion powder
1tablespoonGarlic powder
1gallonWater

Directions

This is enough for two chickens. You can add more spices or leave them out all together. I brine chickens for 12 to 16 hours in the refrigerator. The chickens should be rinsed with cold water before cooking. I suppose you could use a rub too. I don't (my wife is to busy for that).
