OK I'm going to try that actually have it brining now. I have a big hunk of that environmentally correct Chilian Atlantic Salmon that I will season afterwards ant then send it to the dunk tank.
I backed off on the salt to 1/8th and 1 quart of water. 50% Stupid? [Reply]

The brine seasons it and is what helps retain the moisture and keeps the albumin. I think with half as much salt you’ll have some effect, but not all. [Reply]
Got a smallish olive oil rubbed chicken roasting in the oven with some peeled taters, red and green pepper chunks, a straight garbage hydroponic tomato from the store that needed to go, and some chunks of onion in at the moment
All told it probably cost $8 bucks tops, and it will provide 3 gut busting meals at least... such a great deal, and the smells coming off that minced garlic rubbed bird right now, oh yeah
A whole chicken must be the greatest value in all of the food kingdom [Reply]

I cut it making 2 uniform pieces and cooked one (larger) in a little EVOO at 115 degrees and both were great, taste and looks. Thanks of the brine hint.
I have always cooked it in a pouch with EVOO but I'll try full brine next time. [Reply]
