Why you should (almost) always brine your chicken

DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS

If you’ve ever bitten into a piece of chicken that’s been marinating for hours only to find that it still has no flavor you’re not alone. We know that marinating adds flavor to meat. However one of the key differences between flavorful chicken and bland poultry that loses its flavor abruptly after the first bite has to do with one key ingredient: salt.

But there’s more to it than just sprinkling plenty of salt on your chicken right before you grill it. To enhance the natural flavor and best taste of your chicken you can use a cooking technique popular with professional chefs and home cooks alike: dry brining.
