wrong….. wrong….. wrong…….. decolonize your mind have you even heard of ESG lol.
So for chicken breast brine it for like an hour or two? Then could you marinade the chicken?
Can you pan fry the brined chicken breast for juicy chicken breast?
Only problem is it only takes that 0.0000009 % to make you unalive. Disinfectant state they unalive 00.9% of germs. Ok, something has a trillion germs on it that leaves a lot to ruin your day, and remember it only takes one.
What bout smokin' Vern
Great info and wonderfully presented Thanks.
I still wonder why my chicken breasts up to maybe the 1990's never dried out no matter how prepared them?
It must be the change in how they raised chicken, shot them full of antibiotics and switched feed.
I stopped purchasing regular chicken when my chicken stock began having a green tint.YUCK!
best chicken i ever made was when i forgot i was brining it for a day and a half and when i cooked it to 75c internal it was still so juicy i thought my thermometer was broken
"And in a lot of cases, it will actually continue to rise in temperature after it's been removed." Lost all credibility right there, that's basic physics/thermodynamics. If anything, that's an anomaly with your thermometer. The chicken should be roughly the same temp as the pan, which is the only heat source at that point which could raise the temp
"In my case, the temperature stayed the same" you don't fucking say
Your calculation of salt content is wrong. A miscalculation can harm you body, if you cook for example with pink curing salt. The higher the concentration and volume, the more harmful it can be.
100% – 6% (for a 6% solution) = 94%
1000g (= 1 liter) / 94% = 10,64g = 1%
10,64g x 100% = 1064g.
So you have to add 64g of salt.
Anyone ever brine chicken with chicken broth instead of water?
@EthanChlebowski released a video, and he compared "air cooled" chicken, versus, "water cooled" chicken, and it completely changes the formula for whether or not to do chicken brining.
For the Americans out there⦠a 6% brine solution is one truck of salt to one jumbo jet of water.
Tks charlie! You helped me a lot. By the way, im not an English native speaker but i got all what you said. You have a very good diction to speak. Trust me, a lot of English natives donβt have. Tks again!
Since chicken farms are brining chickens with chemicals to gain weight… I think your advice is a bit obsolete πππ
can marinade (curd + lemon + salt + some spices) replace brining?
FROM FRANCE : MARINADE>>>>
i actually dont like moist meat.
I can go from frozen whole chicken to complete roast chicken dinner in 3 hours. It tastes great. Why would I invest more time than that?
Hmmm Iβll bet dry-brined chicken In a air fryer would smack
I usually brine a whole chicken for like 2-3 days in the fridge and then let it hang hooked to dry out (kinda like Cured meat) for a day or 2. I have no idea if what I do is any good, but I feel that the chicken is extra crispy. I use a normal oven 250-350F, nothing fancy.
no zion salt thanx
One question when it comes to usda grade stuff. Chicken is infused with a salt solution. Is our chicken technically pre brined from the food factory?
I tried brining chicken and after about 8 hours the chicken smells bad. Any suggestions?
I try brining but the meat comes out so salty. Don't like that
Excellent video and explanation. Thank you ππ»
can u marinade it after brining?
Do you also need to brine when cooking sous vide?
doesn't this make the meat super salty?
Add a little baking soda (like 1/4-1/2 tsp) and even a 15 minute soak will have a substantial effect on the tenderness. For chicken I recommend rinsing thoroughly before cooking or it does change the flavor a bit. It's a good way to make chuck or round steak fork-cut tender if you don't have time for braising or a pressure cooker.
Juice and Buttermilk brine contain acid. Waterbrine doesn't
If you marinate in soy sauce, is it brining as well since soy sauce is high in sodium?
just tried brining some breasts that I gave a mild pounding also, they came out amazing! I only let it soak for an hour in the wet brine. dried, coated with avocado oil and some seasoning and baked at 400 for about 30 minutes.
I grow worlds best chicken meat and Satan always deletes my statements.
Fantastic video i never knew that.
I was womderimg why store bought turkey was so good.

Cut potatoe in half & thick slice onion cook with chicken save time.
Then, add 1/2 cup FRESH GROUND ONLY flour 2renderings with more water make gravy.
FAYO GIANT CHICKEN BREED FACTS
(Read more about these birds in comments)
I made new breed Fayo Giant chicken breed.
I began by using 4premium strains Jersey Giant fed diet unlike any other@ a cost of $1,000 per bird. That 1st year I averaged 75g vs 64g egg size2 yield bigger stronger chick& fertility rose 35%.
Chickens get locked in DNA/color/shape gene pools like dogs due to ludicrous "Standards of "Perfection" rule. Crossbreeding dog makes much better dog. So, 1st I corrected this problem with 4Jersey bloods.
Chicken feed currently limits protein so egg not too big to fit a carton = tiny chickens we have today vs 25lbs 1900.
Feed is 20% innocuous brutal to digest seed coat saps chicken energy 2digest vs my birds ate 50% meat bone hide fur fish scales organs & all with greens salt spices garlic wood ash, sugar& sprouted oily dry corn.
My Jersey Giant initial new breed Gen1 emphasis focused on massive bigger then ave. leg strains 2forage much deeper with energy efficient calm demeanor they are tractors. They get many more insects.
Initial cost Gen1 averaged $28 an egg these breeders eggs ave. 64g with horrendous 45% fertility due to inferior feeds.
Diet was key my eggs became huge thru diet unlike any other. Chicks became muscular Secretariats.
Best?
Facts:
…6 of my Gen2 birds yielded 9lbs fat = as much calories as 175lb deer in 6 months. No other bird touches this. Chest cavity packed with 1lb premium organ fat prized by chefs & 1/2 lb delecatble fat riddled thru meat like wagyu beef.
Did u know oil = #1 killer of off grid survivalists. Human organs begin fail in 1 week without oil = why people died en mass depression eating fat free rabbits.
Oil basically non existent on farms & in nature. It's manufactured product only. No money = no oil. Chicken fat = oil of all oils the cullinary chef leverage king of kings.
My moto delete money.
I bred my Gen2 with a Fayo Giant Gen1 rooster. A STUNNING bird unlike anything I have ever witness. He would knock on door jump on my arm come in at night, yet guarded thflock like master sheep dog he owned thfarm. Pure Fayoumis by far most intelligent dog like birds. This trait stuck with my Fayo Giants u can discern th intelligence just looking @their eyes. Fayo roosters TOLERATE each other yet are fierce regarding hens THEY NEED 2B.
Thus was born my Gen 3 Fayo Giants.
Fayo G. mature fastest crowing 4.5 months with legendary disease resistance& lay earliest on minimal protein.
Streamlined, refined Hondas vs my original Gen1 Jersey as a clunky cumbersome loose fitting Buick.
My garden engines:
Premium diet = superiour (fall only) manure 4garden I use zero fertilizers just thick mulch + my birds.
All thworlds problems can be solved in thgarden.
No other farm animal can make bread& cookies& pastries& gives u meat (eggs) every day while continue work 4u.
Fayoumis:
Eaten by Egyptian Pharoahs, lived wild thousands years till today. My Fayo Giants cut from just cmpletely dffrnt next level factory. Immediately they strike u as a wolf vs a Jersey Giant being a big inferior design clunky domestic dog. Friendly yet fiercely street wise independent.
I have no inerest in raising breeding birds.
I live on food forests I build& sell& I coined thword.
People breeding grossly inferior birds using "Standard of Perfection" stifle suffocate gene pool while on crippling feeds with deliberate protein ceiling/all across thboard poison methods my velociraptors told me absolutely dont work. This has cost me absolutely massive losses with 40 incredibly dreadful teeny tiny tuff bad tasting breeds. 15hour days 1.5 years yeided my Gen1 Fayo-Giant.
Sergio Andrade JERSEY GIANTS listing. 12 eggs from from Lake Wister. I live on 100 tree food forest.
If my Jersey Giant look different is bcuz they are. Deliberately crossed with 4 colors/blood strain Jerseys 2strengthen gene pool, they are "calico". They can be any of a number of color.
I dunno what ebay is stating, these I always plan ship minite u buy.
I spent 1.5 years 15 hour days total focus2 build worlds best chicken. Then 2.5 years more spawned Gen3 final drive.
Don't believe it?
Spend1 day with Fayo Giant like I did. Only breed hasnt constantly demonize me.
I tried 40 breeds chose
Jersey Giant = calm LOW ENERGY friendly produce by far most meat best tasting most TENDER meat.
MASSIVE feet/legs bulldoze earth yet birds notoriously calm, efficient of energy &my eggs gigantic. Up2 86.1 grams ave. 74.5g, th feed of all feeds which massively strengthens breed stock.
Bigger egg bigger stronger better chic that simple.
Worlds best Chicken requires worlds best care.
Self sustain teeny jungle fowel have very little fat. Chicken MUST be abomination of nature that gorge on what nature cant possibly provide.
U must be perfect 4your Fayo Giant is perfect. = My birdz get all thmeathey can eat& no u can NOT half a$$ chickens.
2bird = 1.5 fat 6birds more calories then 175lb deer.
I also imvent worlds best cookimg method.
I guess I'm the odd man out, but I detest brined birds. Tastes wet and soggy, imo.
this why i brine my cuttΕing board, not my chicken
Does the container go in the fridge after the meat is in the solution?
I tried to brine some chicken for over an hour and it seemed to work great, to keep it juicy. It still seemed a little on the salty side though still. I had it brine for about an hour so, maybe that was it. idk.
So I guess if youre brining then you wouldnt want to add any salt or even salted butter to whatever dish youre making? Or does the saltiness not sustain as much/get cooked out
You brine your chicken! Think I have time for brining? Pshh. I kid , I kid, I'll try it sometime.
All that salt is not healthy. We kill ourselves with the way we cook our food. Less salt and sugar .
Imagine if he was an alien telling other aliens how to cook us
let him cook…
Bruh, everyone's using so much salt in every single spoof of food they prepare, this is madness.
Having too much sodium will lead to health problems, all these videos always using salt for anything and everything is crazy, please stop, make health, not short term gratification.
