Cane sugar in a brine

Smoker · 12-08-2006, 07:46 AM

Anyone use dark brown cane sugar in a brine for chicken?

SP · 12-08-2006, 09:04 AM

Yes. I didnt notice a great difference but I didnt do a side by side.

Used it on the Thanksgiving turkey, but it was my first brine so nothing to compare with as far as result. It tasted great to me.

I have, and I like it. My default chicken brine is 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1/4 cup brown sugar in about a gallon of water. I usually do that for split breasts or pieces that I'm going to grill offset. Spicescan be added at your discretion- a little garlic and rosemary are nice.

Now Smoker, if you attended the first NYC BBQ Cooking Class - Paul Kirk's School of Pitmasters, you wouldn't have to ask that question.
