Thread: using a brine for chicken breast

I used a brine on chicken breast yesterday and the difference was amazing. Is it ok to use one and how would you account for the cals in the brine?


4 cups water
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 bay leafs
1 red chile cut up
1 red onion cut up
2 garlic cloves
20 peppercorns

let the chicken soak for 1 or 2 hours and grill.
