That is a delightful bird! Very well done, Ms. Schofield.

quantity of salt looks ridiculous, but realize that she's using kosher salt, which is less dense than regular fine grain salt. also factor in time into equation. this recipe might be good for a 1 hour brine ( never tried this though). but if you are gonna keep it in salt solution for longer, you gotta add less salt. longer it stays in salt, more salty chicken will get. if you are gonna keep it in brine overnight I recommend about 1 - 1.5 % salt. for 2 liter water that makes about 20-30 grams regular fine grain salt. for 3-4 hours about 2% works fine.

you need to mention that this is kosher salt, bet there will be many who uses regular, which will be too salty.

Unwrap chicken, wash the chicken, then remove the innards *.
I think she was on a time schedule 😉

I'm really surprised hanging the chicken to dry out alittle in the fridge for a couple of hours isn't really seen on youtube...don't know why not, definately a crispier skin once baked.

[jonotek]

salt for brining, wow I envy that ...it costs like 20 bucks per pack where im from

[colinremmer]

Can you cook brined chicken on he BBQ? Will it still stay juicy or is it necessary to wrap it first in tin foil?

[alphasiera]

Do I put salt once I rinse my brine marinate?

[timkabaatar]

It’s great. Thank you for excellent work

[MANDHOASMR]

Can this brining be extended upto 2-3 days? If yes at what temperature?

[rafaelfcf]

I'm scared of the amount of comments asking about washing the chicken... people, DO NOT WASH YOUR CHICKEN!

[forbiddenspatula]

Using Maldon salt for a brine is such a waste

[cardinale]

hello! what salt did u use? i only have iodized salt.

[re-de]

Meldon salt is a finishing salt! Why not use a cheaper salt that will just dissolve in the water. Finishing salts add crunch to a finished dish, which is totally not the intended use here

[jerchenify]

Why are you brining with a finishing salt like Maldon salt???

[Rob-fdsi]

Miss Schofield. You are such an attractive lady. Thank you for your helpful videos.

[lylylyly]

1 cup of salt to 2 liters of water. Thank you 😌

[nutchelle]

At what point do u clean the chicken 🐓?

[johnnycake]

My god! One cup of salt! It should be one tablespoon of cooking salt per litre of water. Even that is too much salt sometimes.

What will happen if you brine the chicken 2 days to 1 week? I'm not sure if because of brining the chicken for too long, blood came out of the chicken when I fried it.
