  • Whole Chicken Brining Recommendations

    179 FarmS | Whole Birds

    Brining a whole chicken helps season the meat evenly and keeps it juicy during roasting, grilling, or smoking. Farm-raised chickens benefit from a balanced brine that enhances flavor without overpowering it.

    ✅ Standard Whole Chicken Brine

    Brine Ratio

    • 1 gallon cold water

    • ½ cup kosher salt

    • ¼ cup sugar (optional but recommended)

    This is a reliable, all-purpose brine suitable for any cooking method.

    Optional Aromatics (Choose 3–5)

    • Garlic cloves (crushed)

    • Bay leaves

    • Black peppercorns

    • Fresh thyme, rosemary, or sage

    • Lemon or orange peel

    • Onion slices

    Aromatics are optional — the brine works beautifully on its own.

    ⏱️ Brining Time (Whole Birds Only)

    • 3–4 lb chicken: 8–12 hours

    • 5–6+ lb chicken: 12–18 hours

    ❌ Do not exceed 24 hours — over-brining can cause overly salty meat and soft skin.

    After Brining (Important)

    • Remove chicken from brine.

    • Rinse briefly under cold water.

    • Pat completely dry inside and out.

    • Refrigerate uncovered for 8–24 hours if roasting — this helps dry the skin for better browning and crispness.

    🧂 Dry Brine Option (Alternative)

    For customers who prefer a simpler method:

    • Pat chicken dry.

    • Salt generously (about 1 tsp kosher salt per pound).

    • Refrigerate uncovered 24–36 hours.

    • No rinse required.

    This method delivers excellent flavor and crisp skin.
