Sweet Tea Brined Chicken
"This crisp, golden-brown Brined Chicken is tender, juicy and full of flavor. The sweet tea chicken brine works well for roasting, grilling or smoking either a whole chicken or individual chicken pieces — so you can enjoy the easy dinner recipe all year long! Brined chicken is the key to the most delicious meat that you’ll ever sink your teeth into! And you know what? It’s so easy! Similar to marinating, you’ll need to plan ahead and allow a few hours for your chicken to sit in the brine, soak up all of the flavors from the lemon, herbs, garlic, onion and tea, and become incredibly tender — but that’s all hands-off! The simple process really just requires your attention for about 20 minutes of prep. Then you can roast, grill or smoke the chicken for an incredibly tasty dinner."
