Sublime Brine for Chicken or Turkey

Before smoking our turkey this weekend, we soaked it in a brine. I found this recipe and am eager to try it on chicken as well. The measurements are for a medium size turkey. I'd cut the measurements in half for chicken.

Sublime Brine


2 gallons water
1 1/2 cups kosher salt
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar

In large canning kettle or container large enough to hold the turkey, mix together all the ingredients. Place turkey in brine. (You might want to weigh the turkey down with a large plate.)
Store in refrigerator and soak for 2 days before smoking or roasting.
(I'm going to try 1 day for a chicken.)
