It is prepared very quickly: for 1 liter of water, you will need 1⁄4 cup of salt, if desired, you can add half a cup of sugar. When the brine is ready, you need to pour it over the meat so that it is completely immersed in it and put it in the refrigerator. The brining time is quite simple to calculate – 1 hour per 1 kg of meat weight.
It is important to clarify that you should not leave it in the refrigerator for more than 8 hours and take it out earlier than half an hour later. If you are cooking chicken thighs, calculate the brining time based on the average weight of one piece. Don't forget to clean the mea.
