If you have never brined whole chicken or turkey before then trust me, you will want to start.<\/p>\n<p>A brine is simply a mixture of ingredients that you soak your meat in prior to cooking. There are dry brines and wet brines.  I like wet brines better.  Brines can add flavor to the meat depending on what spices you add, but most importantly it makes the meat super juicy and tender. <\/p>\n<p>Many people brine their whole poultry using salted water or broth (since it&#8217;s cheaper) but I always prefer good ol buttermilk. (It&#8217;s only like $3-$4 a gallon and so worth it IMO) Apple juice is also a very popular liquid to brine in. I think buttermilk makes the absolute best brine for chicken and turkey. Not only does it add richness to the meat but it naturally tenderizes it to fall-off-the-bone perfection. <\/p>\n<p>So here is one of my all time favorite brines to use on Thanksgiving turkeys. It creates a bird that is ridiculously moist and juicy and has a subtle seasoned taste that doesn&#8217;t overpower the natural taste of the meat which means it pairs up great with just about any gravy or dressing. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let the hot sauce in this brine recipe scare you. Your bird WON&#8217;T come out tasting anything like hot sauce.<\/p>\n<p>I always make gravy to go along with my turkey but honestly, you really don&#8217;t need it. Yes, it makes poultry THAT moist! Just PLEASE don&#8217;t overcook your bird!!!!! When I first made this brine and cooked my turkey, I went to grab off the leg and the only thing I was left holding was the bone LOL. All the meat had slide right off! And the breast, omg talk about JUICY!<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you enjoy this brine just as much as I do!<\/p>\n<p>Get Recipe:<\/p>\n<p>Music by Kevin MacLeod<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S94eIMV_rMQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] [ad_2] Buttermilk Brine For Chicken &amp; Turkey I heart this buttermilk brine SO FREAKIN MUCH!!!
