I'm doing this for two Cornish Game hens tonight on the Weber grill rotisserie... Low and slow, indirect heat... Let you all know how it turns out... as I undertstand it... it works well for chicken parts also... (legs, thighs, breasts & wings, cut up)... BUT, DON'T over brine! I used Vanilla White Sugar (one split vanilla bean in three cups of white sugar for a month), as opposed to brown sugar... [color:"blue"]Chicken Brine (1 Hour)[/color] • 1 gallon water • 1 cup salt (1 1/2 cups Kosher or coarse salt) • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 3 tablespoons brown sugar • 1 tablespoon pickling spice • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon allspice • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon tarragon Preparation: Dissolve salt and brown sugar in water in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Allow to cool. Add vinegar and spices. Brine for 1 hour per pound.

as was it was told... the pickling spice is a really important part... as this is what keeps the chicken really moist...
I did the hens on the grill rotiserrie, and OH BOY was it MOIST! Very good, easy brine!
