The best way to tell when chicken is done is to use an instant read thermometer to test the internal temperature in the center of the meat. Chicken should be cooked to 165° F. When chicken is almost done it will finish cooking quickly. Once it registers 155° F, it probably needs jus...
He mentions using a dry brine if you want, but he skips it and just salts the crap out of it, haha.I can not wait to try this. I’ve never brined anything before and but would love to make some nice juicy chicken breast on the grill. Thanks for the info!Sent from my iPhone ...

in the places where the breast and thighs are thickest. Place in a large sealable plastic bag and refrigerate breast side up until Wednesday. I like a 3-day brine but even 24 hours’ brining time gives an excellent result.Flip the bird (not that bird!) breast side down for the last ...
Brining a turkey is the best way to ensure a juicy breast. But finding a large enough vessel to brine a large bird at home (and refrigerator space to keep it chilled) can be problematic. The Williams Sonoma pre-brined Willie Bird turkeys solve that problem nicely. Even better, the brine...
