    Stumbled upon this channel and expected to see 100k+ subs because of the quality of video I was watching. Great work and the included science behind salmonella was really appreciated too. And your pan sauce video is golden as well. Thanks

    Spicy pickle juice is my go to. Season chicken the night before heavily then put in pickle brine for a few hours in the morning. Put the broiler on high and fillet your leg quarters so theyre thin, the flavor is out of this world.

    If you're reading this, try brining the chicken for 3 hours, then dry them in the fridge if you want to restore the crispiness. Also, I did use brown sugar as it provides a better color overall. yw

    One thing I'd like to throw out there - if you add sugar to your brine, it will cause your finished product to not be as tender. - for me this is really noticeable on things like filet or cuts you tenderize through temperature like chuck or pork shoulder. Pork shoulder especially if you are making pulled pork will be noticeably harder to shred. It doesn't matter for something like a ribeye that you are going to tenderize mechanically just by how you cut it as you eat, and there really is a lot of tasty flavor added by the sugar! Chicken cooked sous vide at temperatures around 130-135 for a few hours will be even more insanely juicy and tender than 150 or 155 would be, and just as food safe. Also for dark meat I really prefer this meat taken all the way to 185-190. Only cooked to 175 it still has a weird texture in my opinion. Really love these videos man, you approach cooking basically the same way I do! :)

    Hi! I was served a meal in a take-away container when I was in hotel quarantine, and it was one of the best chicken breast pieces I've ever eaten. I now know what the secret is, they probably brined it very nicely and then added some light gravy sauce to it! Any suggestions for what grazy to keep it light? (no sugar/honey/cream please)

    Look up any kind (healthier versions maybe) of English gravy recipes, we love our roast dinners and have lots of chicken and gravy in them. And some gravy can be quite easy to make with just "leftovers" from frying chicken in a pan + a bit of butter / flour and some chicken stock for example. Makes very nice meaty sauce.

    When you said that brining the chicken breaks down the protein, does it take away the protein nutrients so that it’s gone or deteriorates, or it just simply affects the texture and not the actual nutrients?

    Hi there, I used one tablespoon of salt and 2 cups of water to brine. I left the chicken to brine for 30 minutes. I then seasoned the breasts fillets with a bit of garlic salt and pepper. The chicken was delicious and so tender. My only problem is that I had a really bad headache upon waking. So is it safe to say that the brine process isn't a healthy option for people with high blood pressure? I'm really supposed to limit my salt intake but I really saw a difference in the texture of the chicken with this process. I didn't even need a knife to cut it. Any alternative suggestions?

    does brining makes your meat loose protein content?

    I bought two packets of chicken and cooked the first without brining it and it was tough - I had run out of prep time The second packet got brined for 3 hours and it was better than first - it really worked! Thank you for sharing this simply but effective method of making better chicken dishes
