How to Make a Basic Brine

I just poured root beer over my chicken and added seasoning, let it soak for 24 hours let’s see what happens

As a European who came for measurements I'm out 😅

The video says 1 Tbsp per quart. Then says a gallon(4qts) requires a cup of salt?

But there are 16 Tbsp in a cup…should it have been 1/4 cup of salt for a gallon? Or 4Tbsp of salt pert quart? What am I missing?

add vinegar to brine, it'll tenderize that pork, less salt, keep overnight in fridge

Idk.. that's a lot of salt 😮

This guy’s measurements are WAY off

P.S. Some good fried chicken have good one rock on

Great info

People should be using grams to measure the ingredients

Talking too fast…

How long and at what temperature did you sear them??? Men leave out all the important info!

Probably one of the best videos on Yt explaining brining! Appreciate it!

Brother, you don't need my accolades; however, I was thoroughly impressed with your presentation, style, and expertise.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
What more can I say?
Thank you. 😉

Table spoon per quart would be a quarter cup per gallon.

So cool!

Hmmm. 1 Tablespoon salt per QUART = FOUR Tbsp Salt per Gallon (1 cup salt = 16 Tbsp or FOUR TIMES as much)

Should be put in the fridge my husband don’t n

wait what? The most important this is getting your ratio's right, 1 TB of salt per quart does not equal 1 cup of salt per Gallon,

What on earth is a Quart lmao

1 cup of salt per
1 gallon of water.
1 hours of soak time per
1 pound of meat.

Pretty simple, just remember the ones & and just as necessary.

Question for you. I accidently left chicken in for 2 days in brine. I smoked it and it was very salty did I brine too long or not.

you could leave 1 piece without brine to see the difference after cooked

If you use ONE tablespoon of salt per quart that is FOUR tablespoons for a gallon. A CUP of salt is SIXTEEN tablespoons! That will be a STRONG brine.

I have a question. What do you think about doing a brine on
Dove 🕊️. I plan on smoking them wrapped in bacon and some jalapeño popper style.

I watched many recipes abot salt/water ratio which is most important and everyone have different ratio, why using cups ?? You didn't hear for grams ? Or forget about grams, just give fuc..g percentage, 2% 5% 20% of salt in water, and everyone can calculate ...

You don't maffs very well ...

You're not a chef but just a Hobby cook

Hey buddy, you said 1 tablespoon of salt per quart of water, then your put 4 times that amount 16 tablespoon in a gallon, or 4 tablespoons per quart? I’m confused; there’s a huge difference between both.

1 Tbsp per quart = 1/4 cup for a gallon not a whole cup.

wtf is a quat?

celery seed, are you from Montana region?

(For our reference)
1 tbsp salt for every quart of water or 1-1/2 oz of salt for every quart of water (which equals a 1/4 cup per quart.)

can u reuse the brine or does that cross contaminate

I think he missed the ratio for sugar

Hi there, I remember seeing another video on your channel that I can’t find any more on a brine recipe with Guajillo peppers, Honey, molasses etc. could you happen to reshare your recipe

Nice presentation and learned a lot. However, 1T per quart is NOT 1 cup per gallon!

Great video I want to see more! Learning how to cook.

1 tablespoon of salt every quarter of water. Then 1 cup for a gallon of water?

4 quarters is 1 gallon. How come 1 tablespoon of salt turns into 1 cup?

Hi sir, i have a question is it okay if i first brine the chicken then marinaded and coock it ?

Sometimes cooking is like a math problem

1 cup for every quart??? my non-american brain is spinning

1 lb. Of water weight 16 ounce’s

Dude, took my meat to a whole other level. Thanks! I did add juniper berries . . . yum!!

I wish you put salt and sugar in weight to the water weight in grams and liters. That’s the most accurate way to measure.

Great info and you blew my mind with the anchos.. Now I'm thinking a garlicy brine with arbols and peppercorns for chicken this weekend.
