How to Quick Brine a Chicken
If you don’t have six to 12 hours before dinner, but you have your heart set on brined chicken, don’t worry. You can speed up the brining process so your chicken will be ready to cook in as little as three hours. Just don’t forget about the soaking chicken – it’ll become super salty if you leave it in the quick brine solution for longer than five hours. Make a simple quick brine or add seasonings, such as lemon and ginger or orange and rosemary, for a moist and tasty chicken.
