Tips

  • This method is called a flash brine, requiring only 15 minutes of marination for flavor.
  • When grilling, brush oil on the grate or use spray oil in quick bursts to avoid flares.
  • Finish grilling the chicken on the higher, hotter rack for better browning without overcooking.
  • The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 175 degrees.
