Brine Ingredients (optional)*

• 4 cups Water
• 2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
• 1 Tbsp Dry BBQ Seasoning

Brine Directions (optional)*

1. Place the chicken in a large zip-lock bag or large bowl with lid
2. Pour the combined brine (water, kosher salt, and dry BBQ seasoning) over the chicken
3. Let it sit in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. This helps keep the chicken very moist and juicy when cooking.
4. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
