How to Make Injectable Brine For Turkey Chicken

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and let the brine cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Once cooled, use a marinade injector to inject the brine into your turkey or chicken. Inject multiple times, ensuring even distribution throughout the meat.
  5. Let the injected meat rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the brine to penetrate fully before cooking.
  6. Proceed with your favorite cooking method (roasting, grilling, etc.). Enjoy incredibly juicy and flavorful poultry!
