Brine question

[Babyboomerboy]

I was looking on here the other day when someone had a recipe for a brine they used on chicken. I think it had a gallon and a half of water, kosher salt, celery seeds, and a few other things. If anyone knows which thread it was I would appreciate finding it again. Thank you

Thank you huckjr, this is the first brine recipe that I have seen using nutmeg. The one I was looking for had brown sugar in it. I have tried using the search here but I haven't had any luck finding the recipe I saw a while back. Anyway the chicken is in the frige just waiting for the brine and I'll keep looking. Thanks again
