CHICKEN BRINE FOR SMOKING
I like to use this Brine for Chicken before I smoke it. A lot of brines call for Sugar, which I feel makes the meat a little too sweet. Using a brine makes a world of difference in how moist the chicken is after smoking. The brine makes the chicken more moist, the optional ingredients add flavor.

Steps:
- Put water, salt, and optional ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts turn off the heat. stir to make sure the salt is fully disolved.
- Cool the Brine.
- Add the chicken and Brine in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. It is if the bird is fully covered by the brine. If this isn't possible, turn occasionally.
- 1/2 hour before putting in the smoker, take chicken out of the brine and allot it to drip dry. I put it on a cooling rack, on top of a high sided cookie sheet. Make sure the cat's don't sample it.
- Rub with a Rub.
- Smoke it at a temp between 200 degrees F and 225 degrees F. A lower temperature will add more smoke flavor and tenderness but take longer.
- After between 3 and 6 hours (depends on the size, depends on the temp) the Chicken should reach 165. Pull from the smoker.
- Wrap in Foil and let rest for a minimum of 15 minutes. When I have a longer wait I put it in a cooler to stay warm.

QUICK & EASY CHICKEN BRINE
This comes from an episode of "Cooking for Real" with Sunny Anderson. The brining portion is all that is listed here; however, if you are interested in the chicken recipe in it's entirety, it's called "Grilled Chicken with White Wine Mushroom Sauce". I needed a brine for a smaller amount of poultry.
