Directions
To begin, unpackage the whole chicken, remove giblets from inside body cavity (if present) and rinse entire bird under cold running water. In a stockpot or similar container, fill with 1/2 gallon of water, then mix in the sale and any other seasonings that you may wish to add. When salt has dissolved, submerge the chicken into the brine solution. Refrigerate and allow to bring for at least 12 hours, but you may brine the chicken for up to 2 days. Remove from brine, rinse and cook as desired.
