I am finding out more and more about brining chickens and turkeys. I have yet to brine a bird myself but I've seen it done enoguh times to come up with a TangySweetFoodLove version. FYI, brining is a procedure done before roasting your bird that helps keep the bird juicy. Please enjoy!

Sounds like a good brine. But it reminds me of one I saw that was for marinating chicken for latino dishes.
Gonna be interesting for Thanksgiving!
Hey Chris,
I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is out there. I incorporated ingredients found in a lot of Latin dishes. If you use it PLEASE let me know. It's an untested recipe.
