This chicken brine recipe for smoking is a very basic brine recipe for preparing meats and fish for smoking. Add any personal taste preferences to the brine for additional flavor enhancement. I like to add white wine, soy sauce, and various herbs and spices. Anything that you like will work, so experiment at will.

  • 4 cups water

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • ¼ cup kosher salt

Method

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Combine water, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk vigorously until sugar and salt dissolve.
