This brine recipe is perfect for ensuring your poultry and pork are juicy and flavorful. It's easy to prepare and guarantees delicious results.
Combine the water, kosher salt, and brown sugar in a large pot and stir until dissolved.
Heating the water slightly can help dissolve the salt and sugar faster, but ensure the brine is cooled before use.
Add the black peppercorns, bay leaves, sliced onion, and crushed garlic to the brine.
Feel free to adjust the amount of aromatics to suit your taste preferences.
Cool the brine completely before using.
Place the pot in an ice bath to speed up the cooling process.
Immerse the meat in the brine, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate.
Use a plate or a weight to keep the meat fully submerged in the brine.
Remove the meat from the brine, rinse under cold water, and pat dry before cooking.
Rinsing removes excess salt from the surface, ensuring a balanced flavor.
