Kittencal's Buttermilk Brine For Chicken Or Turkey Breast
"You may never cook chicken again without using this brine first, it will produce the most flavorful juicy moist chicken you will ever have, it’s a must for chicken and turkey breasts, and makes the best fried chicken on this planet! Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade in the buttermilk brine for a minimum of 24 hours Amounts listed enough to cover about 4 pounds chicken pieces and may be doubled, I strongly suggest not to omit the cumin it really brings out so much extra flavor without being overpowering, amounts listed will yield about 4 1/4 cups. Brine time is 24 hours"
