Why you should (almost) always brine your chicken

[@AaronSmith561]

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

[@CharlieAndersonCooking]

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos so far!

[@bigweedonly]

But how much chicken can you put in that? Missing the last piece of the ratio lol

[@TheCuriousNoob]

You are a person sent from the heavens

[@CODEXAMBROSIUS]

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.

[@Ruthlesss86]

Yoooooo.... i gotta try this

[@shizik12]

Why not brine in pickle juice and then season? Wouldn’t the juice remove the seasoning?

[@dermguy5000]

This is the best video I’ve ever seen on brining, I come back to it again, and again when I need a reminder

[@djctai9288]

its crazy how this isn't getting 100k+ views, very high quality content

[@p.f.droney8973]

Great video. I've been brining my top round roast in salt, brown sugar, and peppercorns. It makes a huge difference.

[@willhooke]

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

[@FailedZerg]

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! :)

[@monkey1346ful]

Really high quality videos, can't wait for you to blow up! I feel you should've used a control to show how much difference the brining actually made plus also weighing the pieces before and after to see moisture loss...

[@TheCuriousNoob]

You are such an amazing channel. No bs just straight knowledge

[@schnitzelschnitzel9074]

Wow I love your videos!! It actually teaches me more than my culinary school

[@andtr3s607]

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

[@jackhenry9976]

thanks, big bro. you did a really great job explaining

[@AtifJaved-tk2rk]

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)

[@Metallijosh100]

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.

[@natakijean-baptiste1746]

Thank you I found buying frozen Once and it was so soft

[@shielahernandez2880]

So is marinade possible to make the meat moist? If its in Right amount of water ratio and its spices?

[@wiliamperezrodriguez7590]

Chef Charlie Anderson is a very good teacher on technique. Studies and better performance in cooking method.

[@jfedererj]

If you wet brine, you need to then pat dry and leave in the fridge for a good 12 hours, to allow the skin to dry out properly. If you go straight out the wet brine and into the oven (albeit with a pat-down), yeah ofc the skin is not gonna be as crisp.

[@sandrasuvorovaite6155]

exactly 👍

[@rabbitgregory9289]

Hi. If I wet brine a skinless chicken breast and then pan fry it, will I still get decent browning?

[@adela_putri]

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?

[@napoleonbonaparte1260]

Im starting a fried chicken business. Thank you for your video. I will never forget you.

[@robindragirl]

How is your business going now?

[@olliewilliams4325]

Looking forward to trying this!

[@utyaann]

Hi! Thank you for really interesting and helpful video! How long does it take to reach this internal temperature in your experience?

Would other brands of kosher salt have the same qualities as the diamond crystal?

[@paxtonroe246]

[@mcglashenmann2181]

A game changer for me was cooking dark meat poultry to °195. It is extremely tender( not chewy), and fall of the bone. Try it! You'll thank me! 😊

[@SamTrollazo]

Great video! thank you. I will put it to work tomorrow

[@barbielovechannel]

Can u make brine for roasted chicken?and how to cook

[@graywhaler8542]

was the chicken refrigerated after placing in brining solution?

[@Daugust77]

Because bacteria can still grow in a brine and they thrive at room temperature.

[@hotdiggity6846]

What about getting a good sear?

[@frontier9]

Dude - yes, the food safety explanation 155 ... i've cooked it like that and it was good but I was concerned about the recommendation. I was ready for this ... i think about it all the time when brine/cooking my chicken for sandwich making

[@Mixwell1983]

Having went to culinary school and working in a few kitchens I really want to get a couple Cambros but my financial side says no. i mainly use deli cups from 32 and 16oz for food storage, have my basic knife roll and dough scraper etc. i do have 2 very large plastic bowls for pasta salad etc and a larger metal mixing bowl. When brining I have what I believe is an 8 qt aka 1/2 gallon cheap pot but I have to be honest, a cheap plastic cutting board, some cheap plastic handles NSF knives kept honed and proper storage containers is almost all I need. I wana pull the trigger on a couple cambros but i don't really need them as ive gotten on without them for years and subbed in a smaller 8qt metal soup pot.. The irony of most foodie people is they think restaurants use high end equipment but for food storage, knives they're about the bottom of the barrel. Even have a couple cheap ass aluminum 10" pans and a nonstick pan with rivet handles It's funny cuz I hear a lot of military people laughing when someone says this is " military grade" and to the folks serving they take it as this is whatever was leftover vs some highly competitive design etc.... 😂😂

[@khazzor8564]

Really great video 👌🏻 no bullshit and tons of valuable information

[@spanial]

I really needed to see you eat them 😭

[@Christiansstillstruggle]

So can you wet brine and then marinate? 🤔

[@Kerry-G]

One quarter cup table salt to one quart water (quarter to quart, easy to remember)

[@cpeeps430]

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?

[@hoangnguyendinh291]

How long should I wet brine the boneless chicken breast, sir?

[@dopinder1044]

does brining makes your meat loose protein content?

[@Easygains29]

Thanks bro❤

[@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased]

Wait how did you not have any carry over cook? not even by 1 degree?????

hi love your videos. I have a question!! does marinading have the same effect as brining??

I'm sure I saw this video like month ago or something. Is it reupload?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I've been moving all of this content over from my other channel (The Regular Chef) because I'm shifting that one to be completely focused on bread baking.

Pickle juice people, you’re welcome

[@ddanis226]

Wow❤

[@_abeross_]

I think im still a little confused as to why someone would want to use a brine if it locks moisture in, reducing the intensity of flavor 🤔

[@Cherry-zd7fe]

I believe you could brine a chicken and then place it in a marinade

[@mr.resistance4015]

I'll make a mixture of butter bacon grease and spices to rub under the skin after spatchcocking and brining for at least 12 hours I use brown sugar and herbs in the brine as well

[@fernandoramirez6444]

[@djextrodinare9495]

Can I brine if I’m cooking using an Air Fryer 🤔 ?

[@HealthyPockets-ls9hf]

Try it

[@cody0126a]

I like buttermilk or yogurt.

[@felixmildon690]

I watched to the end, but I never cook.

[@patricktatro162]

I don't think this is true information. I think it has to do with the semipermeability of cell membranes to small molecules like dissolved ions of sodium. Dissolved solutes will tend towards equilibrium. When you have really salty water basically and there's a membrane that lets salt through it like a cell then salt is going to go into the cell to create balance between the solutions.

Brine chicken, definitely. Marinade does nothing worthwhile to chicken.

[@canjiica]

That's a lie

[@Fr0z0rz]

@@canjiica Explain your stance.

[@canjiica]

@@Fr0z0rz Marinade gives nice flavor. Isn't that worthwhile? Try different things like teriyaki, yogurt, etc. It definitely worth the effort

[@Fr0z0rz]

@canjiica instead of calling it a lie, maybe question a bit. The chicken fibres don't hold the flavors like meat does due to striations. Marinating chicken does nothing more than surface level coating.

[@kaka_kaka28]

Will marination be effective after wet brining of chicken
