Here you go; made a batch of chicken brine this afternoon for two birds I'll smoke Friday.RJB wrote: ↑April 27th, 2021, 8:24 pmI like to smoke whole chickens and they turn out much moister if I brine them ahead of time. I usually let them sit in the brine in the refrigerator for 48 hours.
Simple brine for two whole chickens:
3 gallons water.
1 and a half cups salt
1 and a half cups sugar
1 quarter cup pepper corns
3 or 4 bay leaves
Bring to a boil, let cool, put birds in and refrigerate.
