Kyle's Chicken Brine
Brining chicken will help add flavor to chicken. I do this first and then spend the 30 minutes prepping the rest of the meal.

Ingredients
4 cup cold water
Cold water is important!
4 1/2
tbsp
Morton's table salt
The type of salt matters a lot. If not using Morton's table salt, use 6 tablespoons of Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 3 tablespoons of fine/table salt.
Chicken breasts or thighs
Instructions
1. Tenderize the chicken thoroughly.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cold water and salt.
3. Mix the water and salt until the salt is completely dissolved.
4. Add the tenderized chicken to the bowl.
5. Let sit in bowl for 25-35 minutes. There isn't much difference in flavor beyond the 35 minute mark.
6. Remove chicken and cook as desired.
