This easy chicken brine, made with simple ingredients, is perfect for a smoked whole chicken<\/a>, thighs<\/a>, or chicken breasts<\/a>. Using this brine is your best bet for ensuring that the meat is moist, juicy, and tender.<\/p>\n

If you are new to brined chicken, you\u2019re in for a treat. While we all love grandma\u2019s Sunday chicken recipe, even grandma couldn\u2019t guarantee a tender and juicy chicken every time. This simple chicken brine infuses flavor and moisture, keeping meat juicy during cooking.<\/p>\n

Chicken meat, particularly the breast, is quite lean and covers a large surface area, which makes it prone to drying out. To combat this, skilled cooks often use a brine solution to infuse moisture and flavor. Some of the solution is absorbed into the meat, resulting in plumper and juicier chicken. This technique is especially helpful when cooking chicken in a smoker at low temperatures.<\/p>\n
