I looked at several recipes for brining and roasting a chicken. I did not find one that I liked but did like several parts of different recipes so I made up my own. I had never brines before and WOW what a difference. My DH was shocked as was I at how moist the chicken was. Ingredients:
1 gallon water |
3/4 cup kosher salt |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons peppercorns |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients for brine in a container and place whole washed bird in liquid make sure it is completely immersed. Refrigerate over night. Next morning take bird out of brine, rinse and pat dry. Add seasoning to skin of bird and place back in fridge until ready to roast.
2. I roasted my chicken for 60 minutes at 400 degrees.
