Mexican chicken brine

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts Water
  • 1/3 cup Kosher salt
  • 1/2 jar Mölli Oaxaca Marinade

Directions

  1. Pour the water into a container that is twice the volume of the water. Pour in the salt and Oaxaca marinade. Stir until the salt and Oaxaca marinade have dissolved.
  2. Place chicken in the brine, cover, and refrigerate two hours for skinless breasts, 4 hours for bone-in pieces, and 4 hours to overnight for whole chickens. Drain and pat the chicken dry before cooking. This recipe is enough for 6 pounds of whole chicken or bone-in chicken pieces, and up to 10 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Provecho!
