I decided to experiment with my normal go-to brine and added molasses and garlic. In place of regular sugar I used light brown sugar (what can I say, I like molasses). The family loved this. I think this is going to be my new go-to. This is enough brine for 8 pounds of whole chicken or bone-in chicken pieces and up to 10 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups kosher salt
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 gallon warm water
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
Instructions
-
1
Mix salt, brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Pour in water; stir until dissolved. Mix in molasses and soy sauce. Let stand until brine comes to room temperature, about 50 minutes.

It is easy to prepare ahead of time and stick in the oven so your cooking is complete before guests arrive! Serve over rice.
