Side Note on Brining Turkey and Chicken
Oh, I wanted to also add a bit more to my turkey and chicken brining tips for creating a delicious, flavorful, juicy and tender piece of poultry. You can also add any herbal seasonings you want, just make sure they don’t have more salt in them or you might upset the salt balance in the special brining solution. I also wanted to mention another great tip for roasting a great bird that I learned that really does the trick. Make sure you first start out cooking the bird “upside down”, or breast side down.
When you are about one hour into the cooking time, then flip the bird back up, so that the breast side is up. What this does is first of all, evenly cook the turkey, but it also makes the juices and fat from the bottom, fattier part of the turkey, drip down to the top of the breast, and make it consequently more tender and juicy. If you follow all these tips and still don’t come out with one of the best and most flavor filled turkeys you’ve ever tasted, well then my friend, I do believe you may have bought a bad piece of meat to start with.
Disclaimer : this recipe is neither fit nor healthy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not loaded with fun and taste for the “cheating holidays”. Happy holidays everyone.
