Step 1

In a large pot stir together water and salt until salt is dissolved. Add the garlic powder, if using.

Step 2

Add the chicken. Make sure it is fully submerged. If not, use a narrower pot/bowl, or make more of the brine mixture.

Step 3

Transfer pot with chicken and brine to the refrigerator. Allow chicken to sit in brine for 4-6 hours. See chart above to determine optimum time.

Step 4

Remove chicken from brine. Discard brine. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Cook the chicken however you would normally cook it, but do not add any salt to it. Other seasonings are fine to add.
