grilled beer-brined chicken
(1 rating)
If you never liked the texture of a brined turkey or chicken before, this recipe will change your mind! The flavor and juiciness of this chicken is incredible! It has quickly become my families favorite and I don't want to grill or bake our chicken without brining again. Even though in this post I didn't sauce the chicken with a BBQ sauce, you could certainly do that. Change the seasonings to what you like too.

How To Make grilled beer-brined chicken
-
1In a 6 to 8 quart container or stockpot, mix water, kosher salt and brown sugar until salt and sugar have dissolved. Stir in the beer. Add the chicken. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

2Remove the chicken from the brine and rinse thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken on a paper towel lined baking tray and refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to dry. While the chicken is drying mix together the seasoning blend; set aside.
