Why Do You Brine Chicken Before Frying?
Brining is what makes your chicken super tender, tasty and juicy in the inside.
It makes the chicken the super star.
Once you start to brine your chicken you will never look back.
The brine packs your fried chicken with tons of flavor.
How To Brine Chicken?
A brine is a mixture of water and salt and sugar.
(if you are on a low carb diet or keto diet make sure to substitute table sugar with a keto-friendly sweeter)
Take a big container or pot with warm water and season with salt, sugar and any other spices you like such as garlic, peppercorns, lemon juice and some herbs to your liking.
Put the chicken pieces in the brine and refrigerate for a few hours.
I put mine on a super large ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
I also make this fried chicken in the air fryer.
