Using a Chicken Brine is very important if you want a seasoned bird, through and through, and this Tin Can Chicken Brine Recipe is practically Fool proof.  The Pic above is exactly what I used in the filming of this video recipe and the pic below is the final product, spruced up with a fancy cut and some Italian Parsley.

It’s critical to understand that a Brine doesn’t just season the meat, it keeps the Chicken very moist and tender.   That’s why it’s gaining so much popularity around the holidays.  The best turkeys in the world are marinated in Brine for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before they are baked or fried.  The secret really lies in the Salt.  I’ve estimated that the proper salt content for a brine is a 1 to 3 ratio, plus additional seasoning.  So if you want to try this recipe let me know how it turns out and what you thought in the comments.   And if you’re interested in learning How to Carve a Whole Chicken or if you’d like a Cantonese Chicken recipe, check out these underlined and/or highlighted links.

Chicken Brine Ingredients:

1/3 #10 Can of Water (3 to 4 cups)
1/3 cup Crawfish Boil Seasoning
1 tsp Sage
1 tbsp Rosemary

Bring half of the water to a boil with the added ingredients and remove from the heat.  Immediately add the rest of the cold water add let it rest for 10 min. before adding to the bird.  Marinate for at least 24 hours before roasting.

Poor Man's Gourmet Kitchen

I'm just a regular guy in search of his bliss and I find that bliss in food and all of its many cultural differences. A very seasoned and experience chef taught me how to use my pallet to best serve and prepare a dish with all of its natural flavors from other foods before ever introducing “forced flavoring”, such as salt. My goal isn’t just to teach how to incorporate these products into simple gourmet dishes but to show, how easy, it can be done from anyone's Kitchen with cheaper, convenient substitutions that will not only blow your mind, but insure that most no one will be able to ever tell the difference!
