CHICKEN BRINE RECIPE

‘Brining’ is a process of tenderising and adding flavours to your Meat, Poultry, Fish and Seafood.

This recipe centres on Chicken as a main ingredient.

I’m currently writing a piece about ‘Why you shouldn’t and How to wash your Chicken’. A culturally sensitive piece that requires an in-depth view.

I have shared an overview of this in the video below;

In the second episode of my ‘Chicken series’, I talk about Brining of your Chicken where you’ll need the following ingredients;

1.2kg of a whole Organic or Free Range Chicken

1 litre of lukewarm water

1 Habanero Chilli 

1 tablespoonful of whole AllSpice

1 tablespoonful of whole Black Peppercorns 

4 Bay leaves 

200g of Kosher Salt

200g of Sugar

30g of Tarragon (you can substitute it with a tablespoonful of Aniseed or 1 teaspoonful of Caraway seeds)

The above ingredients were carefully selected to represent both the African and Caribbean heritage with a touch of a ‘diasporan’ diversity.
