I love Whole Chickens 🙌 . A brine adds flavor and keeps the meat tender and juicy. You can brine whole chickens or broken-down birds; those pan-roasted thighs would surely benefit from it. All it takes is a little planning (you'll need to devote at least a couple of hours to the process, but it's happily hands-off). . Rinse off the brine and pat it as dry as much as possible before cooking. Remember that wet skin prior to roasting will make for a soggy—rather than crispy and golden-brown—bird, so don't let your hard work be upstaged by a lackluster finish.. . Cook to 165 as Usual! . . #menusavingstips #momlifeof2 #chefmoms #brinechicken #chickenbrine #ilovetocookformyfamily #happyfamilydinner #whatsfordinnermom #eatcleanrecipes #nerdymomsrunningclub #nerdymommy #mommycooks (at Roanoke, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6FfVFHHHJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1og44yxtnh5u5
