  • found an article after I asked for help, which suggests 10oz of salt to 1 gallon/3.78 ltrs of water, and you're to brine for an hour per pound/450g, so I'm not going to need that much, so I reckon about a litre of water to 70g of salt, and brine the thighs for about 4 hours, maybe less depending on the weight, going to be using common table salt, more of it, and it's cheaper...

  • 4 hours? Hmmm. I only do about 20 minutes for breasts, a bit more for darker meat. 4 hours seems long. I'll check.

    Also - adding an equal quantity of sugar as salt will also help with the Maillard reaction.

  • I'm open to all suggestions, like I say I'm working from an online calculation, which is based on a whole chicken, or a chicken portioned out...

    ps. not doing breasts, doing thigh, bone in, skin on...
