Recipe Note
The Brine ratio is 1 cup of brine to 1 gallon of water. You can adjust accordingly or as needed. Once you have hit your time mark (times are according to size) for brining, make sure you pull and pat dry. Brining meat too long can make the meat salty and fibers of the meat begin to break down and become mushy.
