I followed this brine recipe today (i'd never brined a chicken) this seriously was the best chicken I've ever had. It was sooo tender and juicy I could cut it with my fork. My family and I devoured it...I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

Mr. AB you are my favorite KZreadr! I love your recipes and so does my husband. I made your lemon pepper wings and he loved them. Thank you 🙏🏾😊

AB, I used this brine along with the part 2 roast video exactly like you showed it, with a 3.5lb pork butt for Christmas dinner with the family. I brought that, a pan of mac and cheese, and I made some flour gravy with the drippings! This was a big hit dish! Thanks for sharing.

Brines, the under appreciated process ! Love those ingredients AB !

I’ve never done this before but wanted to. I’m happily surprised at how simple it is. Thank you for sharing this. I’m saving it for future use!

Thanks AB, I’ve always heard of people talking about brining and recipes there of but your the first that I’ve heard mention to bring it to a boil first then let it cool. Your explanation makes sense...boiling the ingredients def infuses/ marries all the flavors together as appose to just a cold brine if that makes any sense. Thanks again

First of all, thank you so much for listing the ingredients in the description box. Makes it so much easier to reference while at the grocery store. Second of all, I have a Christmas potluck on Saturday with the fam, and I’m supposed to bring roasted whole chicken...so basically I hope you upload part 2 before then 😅😅😂😂

I did this brine for my Christmas roasted chicken and it a big hit with my family! I’ve never made or had a chicken so juicy and flavorful! The brine itself was super simple to make with powerful results

I tried this for Easter dinner and for the first time ever, I had a moist chicken breast and a chicken full of flavor. I have been using your level up A & B seasoning and the Creole kick on other meats and my food has taken a LEVEL UP!

I haven't brin before, but my mom would give us that broth for colds but not with salt. And it really works. I'm learning so much can't wait for part 2.

Man AB this brine is the truth! I wanted to drink it! The chicken was amazing, but the chicken salad I made with the leftovers was EPIC!! AB not only do I love all the recipes, I see the growth in productions, I need to join so I can support your endeavors. Keep doing what your doing!!

I love the flavor of the chicken for chicken salad also!

Excellent tutorial on how to brine your bird! Thanks AB!

Never knew what brining was. Can’t wait to see part 2!

Awesome video AB love the detailed instructions can't wait for pt2.

WOW!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR PART 2. IM LOVIN THIS!!!❤❤❤😃😃😃

I’ve been thinking about brining and this looks delicious. Thanks🌸

This is great! Thanks! Following your instructions and can't wait to grill the chicken drumsticks and thighs tomorrow! Cheers!

Thk u so much!...Never heard of brining before but just know this makes a major difference in taste. Watching pt 2 now...

WOW, Man, I'm terrible with whole Chickens, I always end up uneven or dry and I need to drown it with gravy to cover my shame... NO MORE! I did your brine before smoking it on the grill and it was PHENOMENAL! the entire chicken was moist and tender with amazing deep flavor and the next day the smokey flavor even made it better for an amazing chicken salad! AB you saved a soul today.

Just brined my first chicken I think I’m gonna really love this! Thank you

AB, keep doin'whatcha doin!! Appreciate the culinary luv.

A winner ! Resulting into Moist, tasty & delicious !

This looks awesome!!! I will definitely be trying his, thanks AB

My first brine and the chicken taste amazing. Thanks and keep up it!

Hey AB I always brine my chicken & turkey & you talk about being moist the only way to do it.. Happy holidays can’t wait for part to... keep grinding you the real deal 💪🏾

Been brining my fowl for years but I used equal parts salt n sugar. I’ll have to try it with honey now. I’ll also have to try the thyme n rosemary, I do garlic n onion powder with chicken bullion. Looking forward to part 2...

I'm trying this now and I like the idea of the lemons/have done this before and did turn out delicious but I'm using your recipe this time. Thank you

Thanks for the recipe. I ended up using this for 2 cornish hens, and substituted honey for pure cane syrup. After 2 days in fridge, I smoked the hens on a pallet grill at 275 for 45 min, then blasted them done till a 165 temp on high heat, 400 to brown and crisp about 10 min. Finished with a peach BBQ sauce. mmmmm Thanks again!!!

I did a whole chicken, but cut in pieces already. Left it in the fridge for 2 days and cooked it on the gas grill. Came out excellent. I could taste the brine flavor in the meat, which I don't think I ever had... no matter who makes the chicken. I would give this 2 👍🏼 up. Thank u for sharing!

Never thought to use honey in my brine, but will try it this weekend, thanks for the tip..I use the same ingredients. What a coincidence 😁

Love your channel. I am through part 1. Cant wait to cook tomorrow and try it! Part 2

Jus made this brine, and I’m super excited to try this out🔥🔥🔥👨🏾‍🍳

AB. Thank you for all you do. The water...I do this technique when I deep fry and find it worked well here too. I put the chicken with wrapper still on in the pot. I add enough water to cover the chicken. I then remove the wrapped chicken from the pot. Due to predicted evaporation I add roughly a cup more water. Then added the seasonings following AB’s process, when I added the chicken it was covered by the seasoned water versus diluting the water by adding water to what was seasoned.

Never brined a chicken before. Today will be my first time and I’m using this recipe. Simmering the ingredients now. Then I’ll let it sit and brine for 24 hours. Looking forward to giving it a go!

I brined chicken breasts this week. My big mistake was letting it brine 24 hours. What i learned, the longer you brine, the saltier the meat. Should have only done it 4-8 hours. Then baked the chicken breasts.Still trying to figure out how to use up the oversalted chicken breasts! Cost of meat these days, just can't throw it away. Guess will try small recipes to use up all the breasts without adding more salt to the recipe. Some kind of recipe that uses large amount of broth, like soup, to help disperse the salt out of the chicken!

Great recipe! I usually put mine in a Ziploc bag, laying it flat after spatchcocking the bird.🐔 I'm gonna give this method a try also.

Thanks for uploading great video God Bless you

The master chef back in his lab creating goodness for the holidays. Nice brine mixture, AB spray your cup or measuring cups with nonstick spray when using anything sticky like honey so it will all flow out of the cups with ease. I do a light brine when I cook chicken.
