1/4 cup salt
1 quart warm water
1/4 cup sugar- any kind, optional
Mix salt and sugar into warm water until dissolved. Place chicken or pork chops into large ziplock bag, pour in liquid. Keep refrigerated for 1-2 hours. Even 30 minutes is okay. Cook meat as desired.
*Brining chicken and pork makes such a difference! Even if you overcook the pork or chicken a little it will not dry out. I always brine before I grill pork chops or chicken breasts. The sugar helps the meat brown.
