Submerge chicken parts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse parts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. To brine 4 (6 to 8oz. each) boneless chicken breasts: Dissolve 1/4 cup table salt* and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in 2 quarts cold water. Submerge boneless breasts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse boneless chicken breasts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. * If using kosher salt, use two times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if you are using Diamond Crystal brand, and one and a half times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if using Morton's brand.
