by the way, a real simple brine recipe is :
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup salt (sea salt dissoves better)
1 gallon of water
4 lemons juiced and throw in the remaining lemons
you can add other spices to this like thyme, cilantro, etc. But this is great on fish and chicken and pork. It essentially drives moisture into the meat due to osmosis. You will not ever have more moist chicken.
